Which browsers and operating systems does Cursorful support?
Updated
Cursorful runs as a browser extension on Chrome, Edge, and Brave, and those browsers work on macOS, Windows, and Linux. The free plan covers browser recording on all of those platforms. If you need the Pro desktop app, it is limited to macOS and Windows, with activation limits of 3 browser profiles and 2 desktop devices.
Browser support
Cursorful is installed as a browser extension rather than a standalone recorder for the free tier. According to the site, it is available on:
- Chrome
- Edge
- Brave
The install flow is the same across these: add the extension, then record from the browser. The site also lists an "Install" link and an "Add to Chrome" call to action, which is consistent with a Chromium-based extension.
If you use a browser outside this list, the free browser-recording path is not described as supported.
Operating system support
The browser extension works across the three major desktop operating systems:
| Platform | Browser extension (Free) | Pro Desktop app |
|---|---|---|
| macOS | Yes | Yes |
| Windows | Yes | Yes |
| Linux | Yes | Not listed |
So the free plan's browser recording is the broadest option: it covers macOS, Windows, and Linux. The Pro Desktop app narrows to macOS and Windows only.
What the free plan includes on these platforms
The free tier is described as "Free with no sign-up" and includes:
- Recording the browser
- Non-commercial use
- Unlimited video exports
- Automatic zoom and pan
- Add, remove, and edit zooms
- Preset and custom backgrounds
- Hide browser tabs and bookmarks
- Export in multiple aspect ratios
- Local offline rendering
- Available on Windows, macOS, and Linux
A key detail for privacy-conscious users: rendering happens locally, and videos do not leave your machine unless you explicitly upload to Cursorful Cloud, which is marked as coming soon.
Pro Desktop: platforms and activation limits
Cursorful Pro is a one-time payment listed at $79 (discounted from $119) for 1 user, and it adds a desktop app plus commercial and higher-resolution features. Its platform and device terms are:
- Desktop app: macOS and Windows (2 devices)
- Commercial use: 1 user
- Microphone and camera support: lifetime access
- 4K exports: lifetime access
- Lifetime access to all future offline features
- 1-year access to future cloud features (starting from the day of the first feature release)
- Activations: 3 browser profiles and 2 desktop activations
Linux is not listed for the Pro Desktop app, so if you are on Linux, the free browser extension is the supported path described on the site.
Quick way to decide
- On Chrome, Edge, or Brave, and on macOS, Windows, or Linux? The free browser extension is the supported option.
- Need the desktop app, commercial use, or 4K exports? Check that you are on macOS or Windows, and account for the 2-desktop and 3-browser-profile activation limits.
- On Linux and need Pro desktop features? The site does not list Linux for the Pro Desktop app, so the free browser extension is what is documented as available.
