Recording

Capture anything on your Mac

Record your full screen, a specific window, a custom area, or a connected iOS device. System audio, microphone, and webcam are captured at the same time, with cursor position tracked separately.

Capture Modes

Four ways to record

Pick the capture mode that fits what you're recording. Switch between them instantly from the menu bar toolbar.

Full Screen

Records your entire display at up to 60 fps. Multi-monitor support: pick which screen from the toolbar.

Selected Area

Draw any rectangular region with a crosshair cursor. Eight resize handles let you fine-tune the selection before or during recording. Reframed remembers your last selection.

Single Window

Hover over any window to highlight it, click to lock on. Only that window gets recorded; other apps stay private.

iOS Device

Plug in an iPhone or iPad over USB and record its screen. Good for app demos, tutorials, and mobile walkthroughs.

Audio

System audio & microphone

Record both at once. Each track gets its own controls in the editor.

System Audio

Picks up everything playing through your Mac: music, app sounds, browser audio. Mixed into the recording.

Microphone

Record from any connected mic alongside system audio. Volume and mute controls for each track are in the editor.

Audio/Video Sync

A shared clock aligns all streams from the first sample. During recording, audio timestamps are checked against the video clock every 100 buffers and corrected if they drift apart. On playback, per-track drift ratios are computed so audio stays locked to video even on hour-long recordings.

Webcam

Picture-in-picture webcam

Add a webcam overlay to your recording. All positioning and styling is done non-destructively in the editor.

Picture-in-Picture Overlay

Your webcam appears as a floating overlay. Snap it to a corner or drag it anywhere on the canvas.

Hide While Recording

Hide the webcam while recording and only show it in the export. No awkward live PiP window while you present.

Cursor

Cursor tracking

Cursor data is recorded separately from video. It can be styled, smoothed, and used to drive zoom in the editor.

120 Hz Cursor Sampling

Cursor position is sampled at 120 Hz, separate from the video frame rate. This is what makes smooth cursor overlay, click highlights, and auto-zoom work in the editor.

Click Monitoring

Left, right, and middle clicks are logged with timestamps. The editor can show click indicators with adjustable color and size.

Controls

Recording controls

Countdown, pause, shortcuts, and sound effects.

Countdown Timer

Set a 3, 5, or 10 second countdown before recording starts. Gives you time to arrange windows.

Pause & Resume

Pause the recording at any time and resume without creating a separate file. The timeline in the editor reflects the total elapsed time.

Sound Effects & Shortcuts

Audio cues confirm when recording starts and stops. Global keyboard shortcuts let you start, stop, and pause from any app.
