Hustl

Hustl is a macOS application that runs in the background and automatically captures screenshots of your Mac screen at regular intervals. It then compiles these screenshots into polished time-lapse videos. You can set it to record your entire screen, a specific window, or even target just one application — it will ignore all other activity outside your chosen app. The final output is a high-definition video that condenses hours or days of work into a short, shareable clip.

The tool stands out with its thoughtful features for creative professionals. It offers native M1 support for optimal performance on newer Macs, 4K and 8K video export options for crystal-clear detail, and a pause/resume function for long projects. It also includes smart autopause to automatically remove periods of inactivity, saving editing time. You can review individual frames before exporting and control the final video's speed by adjusting the frames per second.

Hustl is ideal for designers, illustrators, developers, and digital creators who want to document their process. Use cases include creating portfolio pieces that show a design from sketch to final product, sharing coding sessions with teammates, making tutorial content, or simply reviewing your own workflow to identify areas for improvement. It's a straightforward tool that does one job exceptionally well.
