Pixel-perfect screenshots, a full annotation editor, recordings with a real video timeline, scrolling capture, OCR, and a lot more — all native, all instant, all on your machine.

Image to text

If you can see it, you can now copy it.

Someone’s screen share. A locked PDF. An error dialog. A screenshot from three years ago. With Clarus, all of it is one hotkey away from being real text on your clipboard.

  • Works where selection doesn’t — dialogs, images, video frames.
  • Good with code — braces, symbols and spacing survive the trip.
  • 100% on your machine — the OCR runs locally, nothing is uploaded.

Drag a pixelate box over each secret — — gone before it ever leaves your screen. Pixelate & Blur — baked into screenshots and recordings.
Privacy

Send the screen. Keep the secrets.

There’s always something on screen you’d rather not share — a name, an email, a number. Drag a pixelate box over it and it’s gone before you hit send.

  • Pixelate or blur — draw it, move it, resize it like any shape.
  • Works on recordings too — baked into every exported frame, so motion can’t leak it.
  • Nothing leaves your PC — captures never touch a server.
Record

Stop writing steps nobody follows.

Someone asks “how do you do that?” for the third time. With Clarus you hit record and do it once — clicks glow, keys show on screen, your voice comes along.

every single week

Ever typed out steps
nobody could follow?

So you explain it again.And again.Until it turns into a call?

got it — first try 🙏
Hit record and just… do it. Clicks glow. Keys show. Your voice comes along. Record once — never explain twice.

Mic + system audio

Record MP4 with your voice and the computer's sound together.

Webcam overlay

Add a camera bubble to put yourself on screen.

Click highlights

Show clicks and on‑screen keystrokes as you go.

Countdown timer

A 3‑2‑1 lead‑in before recording starts.

Draw while recording

Annotate directly on the screen mid‑capture.

One‑click mute & discard

Silence the mic or throw the take away instantly.

Edit video

Keep the 20 seconds that matter.

You recorded three minutes; the good part is twenty seconds. Trim it, split it, cut the middle out, speed it up — on a real timeline, without installing a real video editor.

  • Trim, split & remove segments on a multitrack timeline.
  • Independent audio trim and playback speed from 0.5× to 2×.
  • Zoom / punch‑in segments to draw focus to the action.
  • Per‑frame blur that tracks the export — redactions are baked into every frame, so moving content stays censored.
  • Export to MP4, GIF, or MP3 with handy size presets.

Annotate

Every mark you’ll ever need.

An editor opens the instant you capture — and every mark stays an editable object you can move or restyle any time. Watch each tool take its turn — or click through the rail yourself.
