Features

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

Screen, system audio, microphone and webcam in one file.

🖥️

Sharp screen capture

Captured at native resolution, so a 5K display stays 5K, then scaled on the GPU with a Lanczos filter. Frames never get copied.

⏪

Replay buffer

Keep the last seconds rolling. Save the moment it happens.

📡

Live streaming

RTMP, SRT or WHIP to several destinations from one hardware encode.

🎙️

Clean audio

Noise suppression, low cut, gate and compressor, built in.

🔑

Private by design

Stream keys live in the macOS Keychain. Nothing leaves your Mac.

🎬

Opens anywhere

Records .mov or .mp4 that plays in QuickTime and imports into Final Cut, Premiere and DaVinci Resolve.

⚡️

Hardware encoding

H.264, HEVC or ProRes 422 through VideoToolbox, so your Mac stays cool and quiet.

Under the hood

Light on your Mac.

Built natively for Mac, so it starts fast and doesn't slow down your computer while you record.

Ready when you are.
