Cut it here.

Screen, window, camera, microphone, and the sound your machine is actually playing. It arrives on the timeline you already have open — no separate capture app, no export, no hunting through Downloads for the file.

What it can hear and see

Four sources, one button.

Your screen, or one window

Pick a whole display or a single window — useful when the rest of the desk is not for publication.

Your camera

Straight to the timeline, mirrored while you frame it so you are not fighting a reversed image.

Your microphone

On its own for narration, or mixed into a screen take while you talk over what you are doing.

Your device audio

What the machine is playing, captured from the system rather than through the room.

The one everybody works around

The sound coming out of the machine.

Not a microphone pointed at your speakers — the audio itself, taken from the system. A call, a tutorial, a track, the thing you are reacting to: recorded clean, with no room in it, and in sync with the picture because it came from the same capture.

The app checks whether your machine can actually do it before you press record, and says so plainly if it cannot — which beats discovering three silent minutes afterwards.

While it runs

The controls get out of their own shot.

  1. 01

    It shrinks to a bar

    The dialog collapses to a small strip with the elapsed time and a stop button, and nothing else.

  2. 02

    You can drag it anywhere

    The whole left end is the handle, so moving it out of frame is one gesture rather than a hunt for a 6px gutter.

  3. 03

    Or push it off the screen entirely

    The bar can move into its own small window — on a second monitor if you have one — so a full-screen take has nothing of ours in it.

  4. 04

    And you keep working

    The editor stays live while it records. The recording is not a mode you are stuck in.

The moment you stop

It is already a clip you can trim.

No render, no import, no round trip through a folder. The take is in your library the second it ends — and it stays on your machine like everything else you shoot.

What your machine will ask

Once, and then never again.

Screen recordingmacOS asks once, in System Settings. The app checks first and tells you rather than returning an empty list.
Device audiomacOS 13 or later. Supported on Windows and Linux.
Camera and microphoneThe standard prompt, the first time you use each.
Where takes goInto your library, on your machine.

One app, from record to render.

Free, no watermark, and nothing to install alongside it.
