CAN I VIBECODE

Screen Studio?

YESA focused first version is a sensible AI-assisted build. Keep the first release narrow and polish the workflow people repeat.

BUILD FIRST

  1. One defined user and a repeatable end-to-end job
  2. A small, clear data model with sign-in only if it is genuinely needed
  3. Loading, empty, error, and success states that make the workflow feel complete

LEAVE FOR LATER

  1. Large integration marketplaces
  2. Multi-region scale and enterprise administration
  3. Every power-user setting from the established product

RESEARCH NOTES

What this tool actually does.

Checked 2026-09-06

Screen Studio is a macOS screen recorder and editor for product demos, tutorials, and social videos. Its official site describes screen, webcam, microphone, system-audio, and iOS capture; cursor smoothing and resizing; automatic and manual zooms; trimming and speed changes; local transcript-to-subtitle generation; and MP4/GIF/share-link exports.

RESEARCHED BUILD PROMPT

Give this to your coding agent.

Build a focused macOS screen-recording and demo-polishing app. Do not copy Screen Studio's brand, proprietary assets, or UI.

Core workflow
- Record a selected window or display with microphone and system-audio choices, show permission onboarding, and save a local project with a media file plus editable timeline metadata.
- Provide trim, cut, speed, crop, cursor-size/visibility controls, a background/spacing frame, and manual zoom keyframes that animate smoothly around the cursor. Include a simple automatic-zoom suggestion mode that the user can accept or edit.
- Generate subtitles from a local or user-configured transcription provider, let the user review the text, and export MP4 and GIF with horizontal and vertical presets. Include a preview, progress state, cancel path, and project recovery after an interrupted export.
- Make local processing and data deletion visible; never upload recordings unless the user explicitly chooses a sharing integration.

Implementation and scope
- Use Swift/AVFoundation or a thin native capture helper with a React/Tauri interface. Start with macOS and fixture recordings so timeline and export tests are deterministic.
- Out of scope: Windows/Linux support, iPhone/iPad capture, cloud editing, hosted share links, team libraries, automatic transcript perfection, and a full professional NLE.
- Keep all generated visuals and UI original rather than imitating the reference product.

Include a README with setup, screen/audio permissions, codec/export choices, transcription configuration, privacy behavior, and important limitations.
