CueRecord

Native macOS screen recorder with teleprompter, camera overlay, system audio capture, 4K export, and AI breath cuts for product demos, tutorials, courses, and presentations.

CueRecord combines high-resolution screen recording, optional camera overlay, microphone and system audio capture, AI-assisted script preparation, and a built-in teleprompter workflow in one desktop app.

It is built for creators, educators, founders, and developers who need to record polished walkthrough videos without stitching together a separate screen recorder, teleprompter app, camera overlay tool, and audio capture setup.

Permissions

CueRecord uses standard macOS privacy permissions:

• Screen Recording: required to capture the selected display, window, or area
• Microphone: required when recording voice or using speech-guided teleprompter behavior
• Camera: required for the camera overlay
• System Audio: required when system audio recording is enabled

You can manage these permissions in macOS System Settings under Privacy & Security.

Requirements

• macOS 14.1 or later
• Apple Silicon or Intel Mac

Build From Source

This repository uses Git LFS for bundled model and native library assets. Install Git LFS before cloning or pulling dependencies.

git lfs install
git clone https://github.com/nolangz/CueRecord.git
cd CueRecord
git lfs pull

Build a local debug app:

xcodebuild \
  -project CueRecord.xcodeproj \
  -scheme CueRecord \
  -configuration Debug \
  -destination 'platform=macOS' \
  build

Run focused recording-core checks:

scripts/run-recording-core-tests.sh

Release Build

build.sh creates a universal macOS app, signs it with Developer ID, builds a DMG, submits it to Apple notarization, staples the ticket, and validates the final artifact.

Prerequisites:

• Xcode command line tools
• Developer ID Application certificate installed in Keychain
• Apple notarization credentials saved in a notarytool keychain profile
• Git LFS assets pulled locally

Default release environment:

TEAM_ID=JKDNYL5U42
SIGN_IDENTITY='Developer ID Application: NUOLIN LAI (JKDNYL5U42)'
NOTARY_PROFILE=cuerecord-notary

Create a release DMG:

./build.sh

The output is written to:

build/release/CueRecord.dmg
