Screen Movie: Mac recorder and editor, $3.1K in 30 days, 4K export

Screen Movie is a macOS screen recorder and video editor for makers creating product demos, screencasts, and tutorials. Its $3.1K in the last 30 days is verified through the payment provider's API by TrustMRR (Polar), as of September 30, 2026.

What it actually sells

Screen Movie is a native macOS screen recorder and video editor for makers creating polished product demos, screencasts, and tutorials. It records screens, windows, or cameras directly from a Mac and edits scenes and clips through a single timeline.

Screen Movie adds motion presets, automatic zoom, and cursor smoothing. It creates product videos with animated 3D device mockups, exports in 4K, and shares videos through secure cloud links with comments and password protection.

How it charges

Currency amounts appear on the pages, but none could be tied to Screen Movie’s own pricing. The product’s price could not be identified on the pages we read.

Where customers come from

Screen Movie is listed for a B2C audience and says it is used by 150+ makers. Its named use cases are polished product demos, screencasts, and tutorials.

What stands out

Screen Movie combines Mac recording and editing in one application. Users can start a screen, window, or camera recording from the Mac’s notch, then arrange scenes, trim clips, cut sections, and manage the movie from one timeline.

Its product-video workflow places screen recordings and screenshots inside animated 3D devices. Screen Movie also exports in 4K and supports secure links with timestamped comments and password protection.

The site says its editing tools simplify the work: “Motion presets, auto zoom and living backgrounds do the heavy lifting, so raw captures turn into polished videos fast.”

From the official site

It sits at the exact sweet spot between complexity and simplicity that makes capturing a clip almost frictionless and my social feeds look much better for it.

Where it sits in the data

Screen Movie's $3.1K in the last 30 days is higher than 86% of the 5,602 projects with payment-verified revenue in our dataset; the median across them is $150. Within the “Utilities” category (433 projects) it is higher than 93% (category median $120). Snapshot: 2026-09-02 to 2026-09-30. The dataset only covers founders who chose to publish their numbers, so it leans toward businesses that work; use it for scale, not as an average.

Currency

All figures are in US dollars as published. A rough yuan or euro conversion is not applied here because prices, taxes and acquisition costs differ by country.

Could you build something like this?

In my view, the buyer is a maker who records Mac screens and publishes product demos, screencasts, or tutorials. The product combines recording, timeline editing, motion presets, 3D device mockups, export, and sharing, so each workflow needs a clear place in the application.

Distribution would require reaching makers through a clear application home and the places where they publish or discuss these videos. Reliable Mac recording, timeline editing, video export, secure links, and dependable performance would require substantial work. Competition would come from screen recorders, video editors, and product-video tools, while support load would grow with recording and editing issues.

Verdict: Needs real work.

One thing to take from it

Screen Movie places Mac recording, timeline editing, motion presets, 3D device mockups, 4K export, and secure sharing in one application. Its named customers are makers creating product demos, screencasts, and tutorials, and the site reports usage by 150+ makers.
