Built with AI — and tested by it

HireCast started as a single rough sentence typed to Claude Code: "I need to trim and all other edit." Claude built the editor, the screen recorder and the auto-zoom, then drove the real app itself to test it — finding and fixing 12 bugs along the way and finishing with 26 out of 26 automated checks passing. It's a working example of what AutomationHire builds for businesses.

FAQ

Is it really just £1?

Yes — one payment, no subscription, no account, no adverts. And when our YouTube channel reaches 10,000 subscribers, HireCast becomes free for everyone.

Does it watermark my videos?

No. There's no watermark and no export limit.

Can I record system audio and my mic at the same time?

Yes. HireCast mixes your computer's sound and your microphone into one track, with separate volume controls and live level meters. If your chosen mic isn't sending any sound (common with Elgato Wave Link or NVIDIA Broadcast setups), it warns you before you record and suggests the right input.

How does auto-zoom work?

When you record a whole screen, HireCast also records where your mouse is and when you click. One button then adds smooth zooms around your clicks that follow the pointer. You can drag the zoom bars on the timeline to stretch or move them, or add your own.

Mac or Linux?

Windows only for now. Tell us if you'd like a Mac version.

Refund policy?

If HireCast doesn't install or work as described on Windows 10/11, email hello@automationhire.co.uk within 30 days for a full refund.

What's included under open-source licences?

HireCast uses FFmpeg (GPL v3) for video processing, plus Electron and other open-source components. Their licences and the FFmpeg source link are installed in HireCast's licenses folder.
