FocusTake — one takeFocusTake
Chrome Extension

Record focused product demos in one take

FocusTake records a browser tab and turns it into a clean demo. The zoom follows your real clicks, typing, and scrolling, the cursor moves smoothly, and you export WebM right on your machine.

Workflow

From a tab to a finished demo in four steps

Record once, with almost no setup and no timeline to wrestle with afterward.

  1. 01

    Choose a browser tab

    Pick the tab you want to demo. Browser Tab is the recommended source, and tab audio is optional.

  2. 02

    Record your run-through

    Walk through your product once. FocusTake captures the cursor, clicks, typing, scrolling, selection, and URL changes as you go.

  3. 03

    Auto zoom finds the focus

    Those interactions turn into zoom moments on their own, so the view follows the action. No keyframing by hand.

  4. 04

    Polish and export WebM

    Tune the background, layout, cursor, and motion in the local editor, then export a clean WebM straight from your machine.

Features

What makes a demo look clean

A focused tool for browser demos. It isn't a full video editor or a general-purpose recorder, and it doesn't try to be.

Auto Zoom

Auto zoom from real interactions

The zoom follows what you actually do: your clicks, typing, and scrolling, instead of pushing in at random. Adjust, add, or remove any of it in the editor.

clicktypescrollzoom
Smooth Cursor

Smooth cursor overlay

Shaky mouse movement gets smoothed into steady, readable motion, so a walkthrough looks closer to a studio recording than a raw screen grab.

Local Editor

A focused local editor

A tool rail on the left, preview and timeline in the middle, export panel on the right. The controls for background, layout, cursor, motion, and zoom are packed in but stay readable.

Layout

Background, aspect ratio & framing

Set background, aspect ratio, padding, corner radius, and shadow to frame the capture for YouTube, X, TikTok, or a docs embed.

Local Export

Local WebM export

Render the final WebM on your own device. Nothing is sent through a cloud editor, so the recording stays with you.

Free / Pro

Limits are on the export, not the recording

Free exports WebM with a watermark and a few limits. A local Pro license drops the watermark and unlocks 1080p, longer takes, and a higher bitrate.

Early feedback

Built for people who ship demos

Founders, indie hackers, product marketers, and support teams.

These quotes are placeholders for now. Real feedback will go here before launch.

The first take looked like I'd spent an hour editing it. The auto zoom just lands on the right moments.
AAlex Rivera@alexbuilds · Indie hacker
Recording a tab and getting a clean WebM locally is exactly the workflow I wanted.
JJordan Lee@jlee · SaaS founder
The smooth cursor is the small thing that makes a walkthrough feel professional.
SSam Patel@sampatel · Product marketer
I use it for changelog clips. Record once, tidy it up, post it.
CCasey Morgan@caseym · Developer advocate
Support replies with a 20-second demo now. Faster than typing out the steps.
RRiley Quinn@rquinn · Support lead
Zoom that follows real clicks and typing beats keyframing every push by hand.

Pricing

Recording is free. Pro is about the export.

Free and Pro differ on export quality and limits, not on whether you can record.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers about what this first version does.

Does it support MP4?

Not yet. The first version exports WebM locally. MP4 export is on the roadmap, but it isn't in the current build.

Does it record the whole screen?

FocusTake is built around the browser tab. Full screen and window capture are experimental and may come later; the current version focuses on recording a tab you select.

Is my recording processed locally?

Yes. In this first version, recording, editing, and WebM export all happen on your device, so the capture stays with you.

What does Pro unlock?

A local Pro license removes the watermark and unlocks 1080p WebM, longer exports, and a higher bitrate. Recording itself isn't gated.

Which browser is supported?

FocusTake is a Chrome extension and runs on Chrome. It uses Chrome permissions to record the selected tab and to run the extension's editor pages.

How does auto zoom work?

It watches your interactions (clicks, typing, scrolling, selection, and URL changes) and turns them into zoom moments you can adjust, add, or remove in the editor.
