MobilityCore today
Everything MobilityCore does in the version of SoloSnap you can download right now — six capture modes, cursor-following Active Display, and pixel-accurate Window and Region controls.
Recording modes
Main Display
Capture your primary monitor with optimal quality settings automatically configured.
Current Display
Record the display where your cursor currently resides. A simple way to capture whichever screen you're working on right now.
See what replaces it in 2.0 →Active Display
Revolutionary cursor-following technology that automatically switches between displays as you work.
Window Mode
Capture any specific application window with perfect boundaries. Ideal for focused tutorials.
Region Mode
Pixel-perfect rectangular selection. Great for capturing exactly the UI area that matters.
All Displays
Record every connected display simultaneously into one spanning capture.
Recording that follows your cursor
MobilityCore captures every connected display in the background and records only the one your cursor is on — into a single continuous file. Move your cursor to another display and the recording switches instantly, with no interruption and no file juggling.
In SoloSnap 1.6 this replaces the previous Active Display implementation with a faster, seamless experience.
Perfect for
- Multi-monitor workflows
- Presentations across displays
- Tutorials spanning multiple screens
- Demos that move between displays
Window & Region precision
Two ways to record exactly what matters — both available today.
Window Mode
Capture any single application window with perfect boundaries.
- Automatic window boundary detection
- Follows the window if moved during recording
- Works with any macOS application
Region Mode
Draw a rectangle, record exactly that.
- Drag-to-select capture area
- Pixel-accurate boundary control
- Consistent recording dimensions
Built to be dependable
The engineering baseline stays the same in every version of MobilityCore.
Performance
Native ScreenCaptureKit with hardware-accelerated H.264 keeps recordings smooth under load.
Reliability
Exclusive locking prevents recording conflicts, with robust error recovery built in.
Local by default
Everything stays on your machine. No cloud uploads, no compression round-trips.
MobilityCore in SoloSnap 2.0
Scheduled for the SoloSnap 2.0 launch in 2027. Everything above keeps working exactly the way it does today — these are additive capabilities built on a new capture pipeline.
New recording modes
Focus
Choose exactly which display to record using the new Window Manager. The active display continues to follow your cursor independently.
Multi-Window Mode
Record up to 10 application windows simultaneously, composed into one clean output.
Multi-Region Mode
Define up to 5 independent regions and capture them side by side.
A leap forward, not a coat of paint
SoloSnap 2.0 rebuilds MobilityCore around a new capture pipeline that treats every window, region, and display as a first-class citizen. These aren't cosmetic upgrades — they're capabilities that fundamentally change what a single recording can be.
Focus, reimagined
The old Current Display mode is retired in favor of Focus — a deliberate, Window Manager-driven choice of exactly which screen you're recording. Active Display keeps following your cursor independently.
Multi-Window Mode
Compose up to ten application windows into a single, unified recording. No stitching. No post-production. No third-party compositor. Just pick your windows and hit record.
Multi-Region Mode
Define up to five independent rectangular regions and capture them side by side in one clean output. Perfect for comparing UIs or teaching two panels at once.
