Retool Recordings That Document Internal Tools

Record app building sessions, query walkthroughs, and internal tool tutorials in Retool with automatic zoom that makes components, queries, and transformers readable.

No account needed. Free forever with optional paid upgrade.

Why Retool Recordings Need Auto-Zoom

Retool's editor combines a component canvas, query panel, code transformers, and property sidebar in a dense multi-panel layout. Recordings can't make any area readable.

Component Properties Are Dense

Retool's right sidebar shows component configuration — data sources, event handlers, styles — in stacked form sections. Recording app building means property values are illegible.

Query Editor Is Small

SQL queries, API configurations, and JavaScript transformers are written in small code editor panels at the bottom. Recording query work produces unreadable code footage.

Component Canvas Gets Crowded

Internal tools built in Retool pack tables, forms, buttons, and charts into a compact canvas. Recording the app means each component shrinks to unidentifiable blobs.

State Inspector Details Disappear

Debugging apps requires the state inspector showing variable values, component states, and query results in a narrow panel. Recording debugging sessions means these values are invisible.

How Zumie Makes Retool Recordings Clear

Zumie auto-zooms to component properties, query editors, and state inspector panels as you build in Retool, making internal tool development visible.

Component Properties Zoomed

Click components and Zumie zooms to show data bindings, event handlers, and configuration values. App architecture becomes understandable in recordings.

Query Code Magnified

Write SQL or JavaScript and Zumie magnifies the code editor. Column names, query logic, and transformer functions are readable.

Canvas Components Identifiable

Click on canvas components and Zumie zooms to show each one clearly — tables, forms, charts. Viewers see the tool's layout and data.

Click Highlights on Development Actions

Component selections, query executions, and property edits get visual highlights. Viewers follow your development workflow.
