# michaelshimeles/glide

> A native macOS screen recorder in Rust that auto-zooms into clicks, re-renders the cursor with effects, styles the recording with backgrounds and frames, and exports MP4 or GIF via the hardware encoder.

- Magnitude: 5.5 out of 10 — Early signal
- Stars: 108 total · +4 stars measured 2026-10-14, 00:37–02:02 UTC, ≈ 96 by evening
- Star trust: star growth looks organic

## Useful for

- Record a product demo with automatic click zooms and a styled background
- Export a short clip as GIF with hardware-encoded MP4 as an alternative
- Add on-device captions with Whisper or Apple Speech and a voice-over

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-14 (UTC), 00:37–02:02: 104 → 108 stars (+4). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +96 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 1 day old and already has 108 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #159.
- About 14 forks a day — people are taking the code.
- Recent forks include notable developers: @cpiprint (217 followers).

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 7
- Issues and pull requests: 0
- Watchers: 0
- Average over the last week: 101 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 3

## Stars per day, last 2 days (oldest → newest, today is partial)

2026-10-13 … 2026-10-14: 107, 4

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
