This week, Rally escaped the browser. Rally for MacOS is a lightweight companion app that makes getting product clips into Rally easier, and gives you a few new presentation powers.
Screen recording with the desktop app unlocks cursor tracking, including automatic zooming to interactions. This is useful for bringing attention to finer details of your product, and direct audience focus.
Beyond cursor upgrades, you’ll also find a handful of improved recording options which aren’t yet possible when recording from the browser. For example, the control overlay and webcam preview will stay hidden from final recording, even when capturing the entire screen.
Even with a desktop app, in-browser recording will always remain an option. When creating a new story in the web app, you'll find a new option to record in the browser or in the app. You can also jump straight into the desktop app to create a new story too.
The initial version is available for Apple Silicon for now. We plan to expand compatibility in the future, as well as adding more ways to capture product content beyond screen recording alone — but we'll leave that part for a future update, and some mystery.
