  • Record a display, a window or an area, with camera, microphone and system audio on separate tracks.
  • Crash-safe recording in 2-second segments, with recovery on next launch and live warnings for a silent mic, stalls, drift, low disk and upload lag.
  • Share while recording: a 1080p stream uploads to your own S3-compatible bucket, and the link is copied when you stop. Update link replaces the video and keeps the URL.
  • Auto-zoom planned from clicks and typing bursts, with one intensity slider and editable zooms on the timeline.
  • A cursor redrawn from the event log, click effects, backgrounds, padding, corners, shadow and a movable camera bubble. Preview and export share one Metal renderer.

  • On-device captions (SpeechAnalyzer on macOS 26, on-device recognition on macOS 15), burned in or offered as a track on share links.
  • Crop, including a one-click Hide Browser Toolbar.
