ScreenStudio Alternative with one-time purchase

Smart Zoom and click/keystroke highlighting are sensible UX-first features that actually matter for tutorial makers — they reduce editing overhead. The one-time $29 license and native macOS build are the selling points here, but nothing on the page suggests a technical leap over ScreenFlow/other tools; it feels like a focused, friendlier alternative rather than a reinvention. Missing cross-platform support and more detail on multi-track audio or sharing workflows keep it from feeling essential.
