What is included

The local app should stay useful without a subscription

The core promise is simple: record or import, make it clear, export it, and keep your projects on your Mac.

Local recording studio

Screen, window, camera, microphone, system audio, click tracking, and Explain Board moments.

Publish-ready polish

Smart Director, title templates, captions, highlights, logo placement, closing screens, and social presets.

Ownership model

Use the app after the update window ends. Renew updates only if the new versions are worth it.

Will the app stop working after one year?

No. The license is planned so the app keeps working. The update window only controls future versions after the included year.

Will cloud or AI features become subscription-only?

Optional cloud or AI add-ons may be subscription products later, but the local Mac app should not be gated behind a subscription.
