Built for footage you can't put in the cloud.

Loom, Descript, and most recorders upload every clip to their servers to store, process, and transcribe it. SaneVideo doesn't. Record product demos under NDA, internal training, support sessions with customer data, and unreleased features — and keep every frame on your Mac, where compliance and common sense say it belongs.

Who records locally.

If your footage can show customer data, internal systems, unreleased work, or anything under contract, it shouldn't pass through a vendor's servers to get recorded.

Enterprise & IT

Capture internal demos and training without routing screen recordings through a third-party SaaS or a new vendor review.

Client-confidential work

Keep sensitive recordings off third-party clouds to honor internal policy and client confidentiality. Files stay on your machine and your network.

Healthcare & finance

Walkthroughs that touch PII, PHI, or financial data never leave the device, so there's no new data-processor to vet.

Founders & product

Demo unreleased features and prototypes without your roadmap sitting on someone else's server.

Full recorder and editor. Zero cloud.

Everything a screen recorder needs — capture, edit, caption, export — with every step running on your Mac instead of someone else's servers.

On-device transcription

Captions and transcripts are generated locally on Apple Silicon. Your audio is never sent to a cloud speech service.

Native timeline + Magic Fix

Trim, review, and clean up clips in a real Mac timeline with playback, a visible playhead, and Magic Fix running on the selected clip — all on the machine.

Local-only by design

No account, no telemetry, no sync. Recordings live in your files, and you decide whether to edit now, save, or export when you're done.

Free and open source.

No per-seat plans, no cloud storage fees, no subscription. Setup stays the same. Every feature stays unlocked. Donate only if you want to support it.
