Pixelbay, a macOS screen studio you build yourself
An open-source native macOS recorder and non-linear editor that captures screens, cameras, microphones, and system audio, then assembles them with automatic zooms and GPU-rendered effects.
Field notes
Pixelbay captures display or window footage with webcam, microphone, and system audio, then places the material on independent tracks and scene-based timeline lanes. Its recording pass logs clicks and cursor movement so the editor can generate zoom keyframes and re-render a scalable cursor with motion effects. The page specifies nine camera positions, local .pixelbay bundles, ten Swift package dependencies, and a shared Metal path for preview and export.
