Answers about recording, editing, layouts, privacy, and export.
What is Screen Recorder?
Screen Recorder is a Mac app for polished screen recordings. It records your screen, cursor, camera, and voice, adds an automatic zoom that follows the cursor, and opens the recording in a timeline editor that exports an MP4.
What makes Screen Recorder different?
Screen Recorder combines screen capture, automatic zoom, an editable cursor, camera recording, free local captions, and a timeline editor in one Mac app. Your recording opens in the editor as soon as you stop.
Can I edit a recording without importing it?
Yes. The editor opens your recording on the timeline immediately. You can split, crop, add zooms, images, video, and sound, change the background, and export without moving the file to another app.
Can I make tall videos for phones?
Yes. Place the camera over the screen or beside it. The layouts with the camera above or below the screen give a tall 9:16 frame for phones. Screen Recorder arranges the screen, camera, and background for you.
Can I record my camera and microphone?
Yes. Record your screen with your camera and your microphone, or with the system sound. One recording takes the microphone or the system sound, not both. You can move and resize the camera in the editor.
Do my recordings stay private?
Yes. Recordings stay on your Mac and are not uploaded. Screen Recorder saves them in the Movies/Screen Recorder folder.
Does Screen Recorder add a watermark or time limit?
No. Screen Recorder adds no watermark and applies no recording time limit.
What can I export?
Export an MP4 at the original size, or at 720p, 1080p, or 4K. The finished file is ready to upload to YouTube, Slack, Notion, or another service.
How much does Screen Recorder cost?
Screen Recorder costs $49 as a one-time payment. There is no subscription, and one license key works on up to 3 Macs.
Which Macs can run Screen Recorder?
Screen Recorder runs on Apple silicon Macs with macOS 14 or later.
