SimpleRecord
A fast, reliable screen and camera recorder for Mac. Built for making videos, not for fiddling with settings.
Requires macOS 15 or later on Apple Silicon. Free and open source.
One recording. Your screen, your voice, your face. Ready for your editor the moment you stop.
Scenes
Nine ready-made scenes, from Presenter to Vertical for Shorts. Build your own, and switch between them mid-recording with animated transitions.
Features
Screen, system audio, microphone and webcam in one file.
Captured at native resolution, so a 5K display stays 5K, then scaled on the GPU with a Lanczos filter. Frames never get copied.
Keep the last seconds rolling. Save the moment it happens.
RTMP, SRT or WHIP to several destinations from one hardware encode.
Noise suppression, low cut, gate and compressor, built in.
Stream keys live in the macOS Keychain. Nothing leaves your Mac.
Records .mov or .mp4 that plays in QuickTime and imports into Final Cut, Premiere and DaVinci Resolve.
H.264, HEVC or ProRes 422 through VideoToolbox, so your Mac stays cool and quiet.
Under the hood
Built natively for Mac, so it starts fast and doesn't slow down your computer while you record.
