What's new
Last updated · 2026-10-14
What has shipped in Klarvane Record and the Desktop Helper, newest first, and what is being built next. Installed copies update on their own; the download page always has the current builds.
Next
No dates on purpose. Things move up this list when people ask for them — write to support.
- Mic and system audio together. Today you get one track, and the mic wins when both are on. Two tracks, mixed into the export.
- Vertical export for Shorts and Reels. A 9:16 cut that follows the zoom, so a landscape recording becomes a phone-sized clip without re-recording.
- Keystroke display. The keys you press shown on screen, for tutorials where the viewer needs to see the input, not only the result. (A ripple where you click already ships with Pro's cursor highlight.)
- Desktop Helper for Intel Macs. The helper is Apple silicon only today. A universal build is planned.

Klarvane Record 1.3.1
Press ⌘⌥X at a new spot while an annotation is still showing and the new spot is marked straight away, instead of the first press only ending the last one. Pressing it again on the same spot still ends it early. Existing installs update on their own.

Klarvane Record 1.3.0 — annotate while you record
Press ⌘⌥X (Alt+Shift+X on Windows and Linux) to put a ring on whatever is under your cursor. In the editor, turn it into a box or an arrow, give it any colour, and move, resize or retime it. It stays on the content as the camera zooms in. Free for everyone.

Choose your camera and microphone
With more than one camera or mic — say a webcam and OBS Virtual Camera — the popup shows which one will be recorded; click its name to switch. If it's unplugged, recording uses the default instead of dropping it.

Desktop Helper 1.2.0
Passes the annotation shortcut through from any app, so annotations work outside the browser too with Klarvane Record 1.3.0. Existing helpers update on their own.
2026-10-01
Klarvane Record 1.2.1
The popup shows the right version, and when Sign in can't reach klarvane.com it now says so instead of quietly resetting. Existing installs update on their own.

Klarvane Record 1.2.0 — sign in with one click
Signed in on klarvane.com? Click Sign in in the extension, then Connect extension on the page that opens. No more copying an 8-character code.

Fix a failed renewal by updating your card
If a renewal can't be charged, your account page now offers Update card on the same subscription instead of subscribing again, and we'll retry the payment straight away. If your bank won't allow automatic payments on your card, you'll see a warning before the renewal date.

Klarvane Record 1.1.1
Talks to the renamed Desktop Helper by its new name, and still finds an older helper that has not updated yet. No visible change; existing installs update on their own.
2026-09-16
Desktop Helper 1.1.0 — now called Klarvane Record Helper
The helper app, binary and download files carry the new name. Updating no longer triggers macOS's "downloaded from the internet" prompt. Fresh Windows installs go to a Klarvane folder. Existing installs update themselves.
2026-09-16
Delete your account yourself
A Delete account section on the dashboard removes everything tied to your account. An active Pro subscription is cancelled on the way out; the page says what you would forfeit before you confirm.
2026-09-16
Klarvane Record 1.1.0 on the Chrome Web Store
The extension's new name and icon. Everything else is unchanged; existing installs update on their own.
2026-09-15
A new home: klarvane.com/record
The product is now Klarvane Record, from Klarvane. The old getdemolens.com addresses redirect, and sign-in, dashboard and downloads all moved with it.

Demo reel and a compatibility table on the download page
A recording made with the product itself on the home page, and a table that says which Chrome, which OS and which helper build fit together.

Pro: choose how far a triple-click zooms
A zoom-level slider from 1.2× to 2.5× for Pro. Free stays at 1.4×.
2026-08-26
Triple-click detection fixed with the helper running
Clicks inside Chrome were being counted twice when the Desktop Helper was installed, so a double-click could zoom. One helper per recording, every click counted once, and a real triple-click.

Recording survives machines without a hardware encoder
Falls back to a software H.264 encoder where there is no hardware one, and Stop can no longer hang while the encoder flushes.
2026-08-26
Desktop Helper 1.0.1 and 1.0.2
Windows: double-clicking the download installs it, no console window, no missing-runtime error. Linux: installs from a terminal as documented.
2026-08-22
Zoom keeps working after Chrome restarts the extension
Chrome suspends extensions in the background; a recording started after that could lose its first clicks or its click tracking. Both paths now recover.
2026-06-08
Desktop Helper 1.0.0
A small native app for macOS, Windows and Linux that lets the zoom follow your cursor across every application, not only the browser tab. Free, optional, no account.
2026-05-20
1.0.0 — first release
Under the product's original name. Triple-click auto-zoom while recording, mic or system audio, a built-in editor with trim and cuts, MP4, WebM and GIF export.
