Turn a plain screen recording into a demo video people actually watch. The recording is already in your camera roll. SmoothCapture adds the polish: a beautiful background, a real 3D iPhone around your screen, a smooth zoom on the part that matters, and music to carry it. Import, tap a few times, export. That is the whole job. SHOW YOUR APP INSIDE A REAL 3D IPHONE Your recording plays inside a lifelike 3D phone that you can spin and tilt to any angle. The metal catches the light and the glass reflects like the real thing. Prefer the classic look? Flat frames are there too. BACKGROUNDS THAT MAKE IT POP Dozens of hand-picked backgrounds, from soft gradients to nature and abstract art. Adjust the padding, corners and border until the framing looks right. ZOOM AND MOTION, NO EDITING SKILLS NEEDED Drop a zoom on the timeline and it glides in and out by itself. Pan across the screen while zoomed in. Spin or tilt the phone with a simple joystick. Your video gets real movement without touching a keyframe. CUT IT LIKE A PRO Combine clips and photos in any order. Trim, reorder, speed up, mute, and fade between takes. Every clip keeps its own look, so each take can have its own style. ADD MUSIC Pick a track from the built-in library or bring your own. The waveform on the timeline makes it easy to line your cuts up with the beat. EXPORT AND SHARE ANYWHERE Export in the size and shape that fits where you are posting: the App Store, TikTok, X, YouTube, or a chat with your team. Save to Photos or share straight from the app. START FROM ANYWHERE Share a recording from Photos or Files into SmoothCapture and it opens as a project, ready to edit. FREE TO TRY, NO WATERMARK Importing and editing are free. Your first 3 exports are free too, in full quality with no watermark and nothing held back. ONE PAYMENT, YOURS FOREVER After that, unlimited exports are a single purchase of $29.00. Nothing renews, nothing expires, and there is nothing to cancel. This is a launch price and it will go up. Prices may vary by region. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.

Record your screen with the built-in iOS screen recording control, then bring the clip here.

Your photos already know where you have been. Stourk reads only the date and place stored with them and turns the whole collection into a journey: a stork carrying your memories across an illustrated atlas, city by city, year by year. WATCH THE JOURNEY Choose a year, or your whole life, and watch the places become a route. The map is a printed atlas, not a satellite view; the route is drawn as the shortest arc between the places your photos know. Scrub through it, jump to a moment, and see the photographs from that stop as you pass. THE POST Every city you stayed in writes to you. Its letter is addressed by hand, stamped with the city's own postage, and postmarked by the Stourk postal service. Tear one open and the city's own note comes out first, then the photographs from that city. THE PASSPORT Every country you entered is stamped into a passport: rubber ink, struck askew, dated. Turn the pages. Tilt your iPhone and the pages keep a surprise for you. THE CASE Journeys earn luggage labels. They stick to a suitcase you keep. KEEPSAKES Save a journey as a poster or a short film, and share it. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Stourk has no account, no server and no analytics. It reads photo dates and locations on your iPhone, keeps what it builds there, and never uploads a photograph or a place. Your library is read-only to it. Clear the local data whenever you like; Stourk will not read your library again until you ask. The only network traffic is the map itself, vector tiles from OpenFreeMap with data from OpenStreetMap contributors, and, for a photo that lives only in iCloud, that photo from Apple. English and Turkish.
