Dina

Dina watches where your cursor goes and zooms into the area you're working in, without you setting keyframes. That's the whole pitch, and it removes the most tedious part of manual screen recording. You can still take over and place zoom points yourself when the automatic pass guesses wrong. Big difference.

Raw screen captures show a cursor that jerks across the display in uneven hops. Dina refines that path so movement reads as steady and deliberate. If you've ever watched a demo where the pointer teleported between buttons, you know why this matters. It's not a small fix.

Speech in your recording gets transcribed by a Core ML model running on your Mac, and the result becomes editable captions tied to the timeline. Because it's local, the audio of an unreleased product never gets sent anywhere, which matters when the whole reason you're recording is a feature that hasn't shipped yet and can't appear in someone else's training data. You fix misheard words directly in the transcript rather than retyping a subtitle track.

Dina lets you add or replace narration, so you can record a clean voiceover after the fact instead of talking over a live take and fumbling your words while you also try to drive the mouse accurately. Transcript and voiceover tools share the same on-device pipeline, which keeps the privacy story consistent across the app.

Every key you press can be shown on screen, which turns a shortcut-heavy workflow into something a viewer can follow. For software walkthroughs, this is the difference between "trust me, it's fast" and letting people count the steps themselves. Skeptical viewers stop second-guessing.

You can set a background, arrange the camera and screen layout, and adjust cursor size and highlight effects. It's the presentational layer that usually means a trip into another editor, handled inside the recording app. One app, start to finish.

Dina outputs up to 4K in multiple formats, with rendering powered by Metal and Apple Silicon. For short demos the wait is minimal, which matters when you're iterating on a clip rather than publishing one final cut, because a fast export loop lets you watch the result, spot a mis-timed zoom, fix it and try again in the time a slower tool would spend just finishing the first file.

Recordings stay on your Mac and the app works without an internet connection. There's no sign-in, no cloud sync and no upload step. Whether that's a feature or a limitation depends on how you share files, but the privacy angle is real. No server, no leak.
