Description
Glass is a sophisticated screen recorder for Mac designed to streamline the creation of demos and presentations. Unlike traditional screen recorders that require extensive post-production editing, Glass edits your recording in real-time as you speak. This innovative approach means that seconds after you hit the Stop button, your raw, unpolished take is transformed into a clean, professional demo ready for sharing.

The core functionality of Glass revolves around its ability to intelligently process your recording while it's happening. It automatically identifies and removes common recording imperfections such as false starts, filler words like "ums" and "okays," and repetitive phrases. The software also intelligently speeds up segments where there's inactivity, such as loading screens or moments spent searching for files, ensuring viewers don't have to endure unnecessary waiting times. Furthermore, Glass enhances the viewing experience by automatically zooming in on areas where you click and highlighting those clicks, making it easier for your audience to follow along.
Privacy and clarity are also key features. Glass can automatically detect and obscure sensitive information on your screen, such as email addresses, API keys, and passwords, replacing them with a soft blur that renders the underlying content unreadable. This ensures that private data remains confidential even in shared demos. For accessibility and engagement, Glass generates captions directly from your spoken words, with options to highlight words as they are spoken or keep them lit karaoke-style. It also includes professional voice cleaning to reduce background noise and even out your voice, making it sound as if you used a high-quality microphone.
Glass supports recording either a full display or a single window, giving users flexibility in what they capture. Recordings stay on your Mac, with only necessary audio, still frames, and on-screen text sent to AI services for editing, ensuring data privacy. The application offers a free tier with basic AI editing capabilities and 720p exports, along with paid Starter and Pro plans that provide more extensive AI editing minutes, 1080p exports without watermarks, automatic private information redaction, enhanced voice features, and advanced sharing options like password protection and expiry dates for links. It requires macOS 15.2 or later and an Apple silicon Mac.
