A native screen recorder, built in the open.
Sweep is a pure-Swift capture utility aimed squarely at Screen Studio and CleanShot - faster, smaller, and pay-once. This is the live build plan. Tick items off as the code lands; your progress is saved to this device.
Build modules
Core Tech Stack & Foundation
FNDEverything sits on a pure native Swift core. No Electron, no web view, no runtime tax. The whole thing should compile to a binary you could mistake for a system daemon.
Recording & Auto-Zoom Engine
ZOOMThe thing people pay $200/yr for, done right. Track the cursor in real time and follow it with motion that feels physical instead of robotic. This is the module the whole product is judged on.
Quick-Capture & Overlay Engine
SNAPHit the shortcut, drag a region, annotate, ship. Every step measured in milliseconds. The overlay should feel like part of the OS, not an app waking up.
Distribution & Business Strategy
SHIPDisruption-level, pay-once-own-forever pricing to break SaaS greed. Quiet auto-updates, an honest landing page, and nothing that nags you for a subscription.
