Everything Needed for a Clear Screen Recording

Choose the source, sound, format, timing, and finishing workflow without sending your recording to the cloud.
Display, Window, or Region

Record a full monitor, point and click a single application window, or drag a precise custom region.

System Audio, Microphone, and Webcam

Mix computer sound and narration with separate volumes, then place a camera overlay in the corner you choose.

Drawing, Click Effects, and Shortcuts

Explain as you work with cursor and click effects, display/region drawing, a floating controller, and global hotkeys.

Library, Quick Trim, and GIF Export

Review thumbnails, play recordings, drag visible start/end handles, save a trimmed copy, or export a short GIF.

Six Useful Output Formats

Choose MP4, MKV, WebM, MOV, WMV, or AVI and plan storage with a plain MB-per-minute estimate.

Presets, Countdown, and Scheduling

Start immediately or after a stated number of seconds, stop manually or automatically, and schedule one-time or daily jobs.

Free, Local, and Watermark-Free

No account, cloud upload, analytics SDK, watermark, or recording time limit. The interface is available in ten languages.

Record Locally on Windows 11 or Windows 10

Six output formats, ten interface languages, no watermark, and no account.

Capture, explain, review, trim, and share—while keeping the media on your PC.
