User reviews

Cursorful is praised for its powerful auto-zoom, simplicity, and lightweight design that produces professional-looking videos easily. Users appreciate the built-in trimming and editing without requiring heavy software. Some limitations include a not fully featured video editor post-capture, limited export formats, settings not being remembered between sessions, and occasional very long export times. Overall, it is considered a top and valuable screen recording Chrome extension, especially for quick demos and tutorials.

Everything is good, but when i am trying to export the video. Locally the video is not being rendered properly, unnecessary blinking in shown in the video.

Superb application, user friendly and extremely smooth. As a software engineering trying to showcase my projects, I cannot find a better alternative that is as smooth, convenient, and most importantly, free, as Cursorflow. Great job team!
