RELEASE NOTES
What's new in Sgrin
- v0.8.0
Sgrin 0.8.0 — Five languages
Sgrin now speaks your language — English, Spanish, German, French or Japanese.
Read moreNew - Sgrin is now available in five languages — English, Spanish, German, French and Japanese — and you pick yours in the settings panel. The app applies it on the spot.
- Double-click any slider in the inspector to snap it back to its default value.
Improvements - A floating scrollbar makes it faster to move around long inspector panels.
Fixes - Exports no longer fail silently when the destination folder is unavailable — Sgrin checks it before writing and tells you exactly what went wrong.
- v0.7.0
Sgrin 0.7.0 — First public release
Record your screen and get a demo that looks like someone edited it. Nobody did.
Read moreNew - Record your screen, and Sgrin zooms into your clicks on its own — then lets you change every one of them.
- Aim any zoom yourself, or move, retime and delete the ones Sgrin suggested.
- Camera movement with real weight to it, arriving just before your click rather than chasing it.
- Your cursor, smoothed and readable, even when you move fast.
- The keys you press, shown on screen as 3D keycaps, with passwords hidden from the export by default.
- Yourself on camera, in any corner, at any size and shape.
- Microphone recording, and pause and resume mid-take.
- Backgrounds with saved gradients, your own images, or nothing at all.
- Every shape from 21:9 to 3:4, so one recording covers your landing page and your Reels.
- Export to video or GIF, at the resolution and frame rate you choose.
- Available in English and Spanish.
- v0.6.0
Sgrin 0.6.0 — aim the zoom yourself, and Spanish
Tell Sgrin exactly what to zoom into, save the gradients you like, and use the app in Spanish.
Read moreNew - Aim any zoom yourself by picking the spot on the canvas, instead of accepting where Sgrin guessed.

- Two more shapes, 4:3 and 3:4, and backgrounds that fill the frame properly whatever shape you pick.
- Option to export with no background at all.
- The app is fully available in Spanish.
Improvements - Zoom movement adapts to the moment — a quick click gets a quick zoom, a slow one gets a gentle one.
- Zooms are less aggressive by default, with more breathing room around the content.
- The cursor stays readable when you move fast.
- The inspector is reorganised around what people actually use.

Sgrin 0.5.0 — keystrokes on screen and undo

Sgrin 0.4.0 — vertical video and faster exports

Sgrin 0.3.0 — pause, talk and put yourself on camera

Sgrin 0.2.0 — take control of the zoom
Every zoom Sgrin adds shows up on the timeline, where you can move it, retime it or delete it.

Record your screen, and get back something that already looks like a product video.
Read moreNew - Record your screen and get a finished, animated demo without touching an editor.

- The recording sits on a tilted 3D surface, so it reads as a product shot instead of a screencast.
