A lightweight macOS screen recording app built with Swift and ScreenCaptureKit.

Features

Capture

Record a full display, an individual window, or a selected area
Area selection is adjustable before recording, with a live size readout and an optional 16:9 lock
Pause and resume mid-take; the pause is removed from the finished file
Discard a ruined take without saving it
The recording target is remembered across launches, and the menu says what the shortcut will capture

Output

H.264 or HEVC, at native resolution or capped to 1440p, 1080p, or 720p
Configurable frame rate and video quality
Window recordings can be framed on a background with rounded corners and a shadow, in solid or gradient presets
Click highlighting, so viewers can see clicks and drags
Optional camera overlay (circle or rectangle, positioned and sized during the countdown, before the take starts)
Optional text overlay for watermark-style labels

Audio

Microphone or system audio capture
Live input meter, so a muted microphone is obvious before recording

After the take

Preview with lossless trimming, a smaller 720p copy, or a looping GIF
Drag or copy the file straight out of the preview
Record Again to go straight into the next take

Elsewhere

Global shortcuts for start/stop, pause, and discard
Refuses to start, and stops cleanly, rather than losing a take to a full disk
Menu bar app with minimal UI
Automatic updates via Sparkle

Requirements

macOS 26.0 or later (Swift 6.2)

Building

swift build

Or use the included build script for a full app bundle:

just build-app

Auto-Updates Setup (for maintainers)

Releases are signed with Sparkle for automatic updates. To set up:

Generate an EdDSA keypair (after running swift build once):
```
.build/artifacts/sparkle/Sparkle/bin/generate_keys
```
Add the private key to GitHub Secrets as SPARKLE_PRIVATE_KEY
Replace SPARKLE_PUBLIC_KEY_PLACEHOLDER in Sources/Info.plist with the public key

The CI workflow will sign each release and update appcast.xml automatically.
