Mockly vs Screen Studio
Screen Studio is a Mac-only screen recorder with automatic zoom and cursor effects. Mockly doesn't record anything — it animates a single screenshot into a scrolling mockup video, which is a different job entirely.
Try Mockly FreeWhat Screen Studio does well
Screen Studio is built for capturing a real screen recording — actual clicks, cursor movement, and live app behavior — then polishing it with automatic zooms and smooth cursor motion. It's the right tool when you need to show a real workflow in action.
Where Mockly is a better fit
Mockly doesn't require recording anything. If all you have is a static screenshot — an App Store screen, a Figma export, a landing page design — Mockly turns it into a scrolling video without you ever touching a screen recorder. It also works on any OS since it's browser-based, not Mac-only.
Which one should you use
Use Screen Studio when you want to show real, live interaction — a demo of actual app behavior. Use Mockly when you have a still image (a screenshot or design export) and want it presented in motion, inside a device frame, without recording anything.
Frequently asked questions
No, Mockly doesn't record your screen at all. It takes a static image you upload and animates it with a scroll effect inside a device frame.
Yes. Since Mockly runs in the browser, it works on Windows, Mac, and Linux — no OS restriction.
Mockly is generally faster for App Store preview videos since it works directly from screenshots you likely already have, without needing to record a live session first.
