    ### Clicks you can hear and see
    
    37 click sounds with their own press and release, 8 scroll styles, 29 keyboard sounds, plus double-click, long press and drag. And a ripple under the cursor on every click.

    ### A recorder that keeps your clicks
    
    Record the whole screen or an area, with your click sounds and ripples right in the video. No editing afterwards.

    ### Demo Studio
    
    Press Edit in Studio after a take: pauses are cut, clicks get a zoom, captions light up word by word, and one switch makes it 9:16.
    
-   ![](https://clacky.app/videos/v25/scrolling-capture.webp)
    
    ### Screenshots, done right
    
    A screenshot editor, Scrolling Capture for whole pages, and Grab Text to copy text from anything on your screen.

    ### Your own blip
    
    A little character with a name and a look of its own that grows as you use Clacky, with goals and cards to share.
