Record

Screen, window or area. Your call.

Every mode keeps your Mac's sound and your voice in sync, and the app keeps itself out of the picture.

Edit

Make it look like you meant it.

The editor comes with the app. Pick how you and your screen share the frame; these are real frames it made.

Zoom

Zooms that follow your clicks.

Zoom in on any part of the screen, or automatically wherever you click, eased in and out. Restyle the pointer too: size, smoothing and motion blur.

Blur or pixelate a password or an email. Add a box, an arrow, a title or a name card.

Captions, made on your Mac.

Transcribed on your Mac, never uploaded. Edit them, choose their style, and get a subtitle file with every export.

Cut

Cut by words.

Click a word to cut it. Remove long pauses and filler words in one go.

Sound

Clear voice, no studio.

Remove background noise with Apple's voice isolation, and add music from your own files.

Record internal audio on your Mac. No extra driver.

Capture what your Mac plays, your microphone, or both, in sync with the picture.

Out of your way

A tiny bar while you record. Nothing else.

Drag it anywhere. Timer, sources and Stop in one place.

Private by design

Your screen is nobody's business.

No account, no cloud, no upload. Recordings and projects are files in a folder you choose, captions are made on your Mac, and the privacy label reads “Data Not Collected”.
