Record Cursor AI Coding Sessions with Perfect Clarity

Capture AI-assisted coding, pair programming, and editor walkthroughs in Cursor's web mode with automatic zoom that makes code, chat panels, and terminal output readable.

No account needed. Free forever with optional paid upgrade.

Why Cursor Recordings Need Zoom

Cursor packs a code editor, AI chat panel, terminal, and file explorer into one screen. Recording all of it at once means none of it is readable.

AI Chat Responses Are Unreadable

Cursor's AI chat panel shows code suggestions, explanations, and diffs in a narrow side panel. Recording this produces footage where the most valuable content — the AI's output — is too small to read.

Code in the Editor Shrinks to Noise

The editor shows syntax-highlighted code in small monospace font. At full-screen recording resolution, variable names, function parameters, and string values blur together into colored lines.

Terminal Output Is Illegible

Running commands, seeing build output, or debugging errors in the integrated terminal produces dense text. In recordings, terminal output becomes horizontal streaks that convey no information.

Multi-Panel Layout Splits Attention

With the editor, chat, terminal, and file tree all visible, viewers don't know where to look. The recording shows everything at once but nothing at readable size.

How Zumie Makes Cursor Recordings Watchable

When recording Cursor in the browser, Zumie auto-zooms to whichever panel you're interacting with. For the desktop app, record your screen and add zoom in the editor to keep code and chat readable.

AI Chat at Readable Size

Zoom into the AI chat panel so viewers can read every suggestion, code snippet, and explanation clearly — whether via auto-zoom in tab mode or manual zoom for screen recordings.

Editor Code at Full Readability

Zoom magnifies the code around your cursor. Function signatures, variable names, and comments are all visible at full size.

Terminal Output Readable

Zoom into the terminal to show command output, error messages, and build logs. Viewers follow your debugging process without squinting.

Smooth Panel Transitions

As you move between editor, chat, and terminal, zoom transitions guide viewers between panels so they always understand what you're doing.

Key Features for Cursor Users

The Zumie features that matter most when recording Cursor.

Zoom

Cursor's multi-panel layout means no single area gets enough screen space. Zoom into the active panel — code, chat, or terminal — to keep everything readable.

Click Highlights

File tab switches, AI chat submissions, and terminal commands all get visual highlights. Viewers track your actions across Cursor's complex interface.

Tab-Only Recording

Record just Cursor in the browser — no other tabs, no desktop, no notification banners. Clean, focused technical content.

Instant Sharing

Share coding session recordings via link. Drop it in a PR comment, Slack thread, or documentation page.
