Capture, record, and zoom.Without the markup.
Sweep is a native Mac app for screenshots and screen recordings - overlays, annotations, auto-zoom, and buttery cursor motion in one tool. The features you pay three subscriptions for, at a price that feels like a typo.

Two tools' worth of features, one native binary
Sweep does the screenshot job and the screen-recording job, the way you'd hope a Mac app would - quick, quiet, and consistent.
Quick capture & overlays
Grab any window, region, or the whole display in a keystroke. A floating overlay keeps the shot in reach to crop, copy, pin, or drop it straight where you need it.
Annotations that read clean
Arrows, boxes, blur, numbered steps, and text snap to a tidy grid. Redact sensitive bits with one drag. Nothing looks slapped on.
Auto-zoom engine
Sweep watches where you click and pushes in on the action, then eases back out. Walkthroughs feel directed instead of dizzying - no keyframing by hand.
Cursor interpolation
Raw trackpad jitter is resampled into smooth vector paths. Clicks get a subtle ring, drags glide. The pointer moves like it knows where it's going.
Backgrounds & framing
Drop a recording onto a clean backdrop with adjustable padding, rounded corners, and a soft shadow. Tasteful presets, no gradients you'll regret.
Fast, sharp output
Encode 60fps MP4, GIF, or transparent WebM on Apple silicon in seconds. Copy a link, drag the file out, or save a frame. Done before the kettle boils.
Native speed, honest price
The big two charge subscription money for capture and recording you use every day. Sweep is one Swift app, built directly on Apple's ScreenCaptureKit, so it stays light, fast, and cheap to keep around.
- Records straight from the system - no virtual camera, no kernel hacks
