Screen Recorder

Loom-style local recorder. Screen + camera bubble + microphone + system audio, all in one MP4. No subscription, no upload.

Requires macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later · Source

What it captures

Screen video (H.264, up to 1440p), camera mirrored as a Loom-style bubble, microphone, and system audio. Output lands in ~/Movies/ScreenRecorder/.

First-time install

1. Drag to Applications. Open the DMG and drag ScreenRecorder onto the Applications shortcut.

2. Bypass Gatekeeper on first launch. The build is ad-hoc signed, not Apple Developer signed. Right-click ScreenRecorder in Applications → OpenOpen. macOS remembers your approval after the first time.

3. Grant permissions when prompted. macOS will ask for Screen Recording, Camera, and Microphone the first time you record. Grant each in System Settings → Privacy & Security.

Recording defaults & one-liner for single-track export

Defaults are 1080p + Balanced encoding, ideal for 20-30 minute tutorials where file size matters.

Mic and system audio land as two separate AAC tracks. To mix them into a single audio track:

ffmpeg -i recording.mp4 \
  -filter_complex "[0:a:0][0:a:1]amix=inputs=2:duration=longest[a]" \
  -map 0:v -map "[a]" -c:v copy -c:a aac -b:a 192k mixed.mp4
Intel Mac or Windows?
  • Intel Mac: not in this release. The app uses ScreenCaptureKit (macOS 14+) which works on Intel, but the v0.1.0 binary is Apple Silicon only. Open an issue if you need Intel.
  • Windows: not supported. ScreenCaptureKit is Apple-only. A Windows port would require a different capture backend.
