In the box
Every option that changes the recording, and nothing that does not.
Everything you actually reach for before a take, in one small window. No presets to learn, no menus buried three levels deep, and every change applies to the next recording immediately.
Smooth at 60, small at 30
Sixty frames for scrolling and motion, thirty when the file size matters more than the silk.
30 fpshalf the file
60 fpsevery scroll frame
Half the file, same picture
The default setting roughly halves what a recording weighs, with a compatibility option for anywhere that needs it.

Cursor, on your terms
Keep the pointer in the recording or leave it out entirely. It is drawn in cleanly, at full sharpness.

Clicks you can actually see
A soft ring blooms at every click so nobody watching has to guess what you pressed.
Camera bubble
A round camera in any corner, sized from 10 to 40 percent. Drag it mid-recording and it stays where you drop it.
Your voice and the app, together
Capture what you say and what the Mac plays, kept apart so the edit later is not a guessing game.

Straight to a folder you chose
Every capture lands as a dated .mov in your own folder. Reveal in Finder is one click from the menu bar.

Four ways in
Pick the frame first. The rest stays out of it.
Drag a region, snap it to something
Drag out any rectangle. Hold ⌥ to draw from the centre, hold ⇧ to lock the aspect ratio, and the edges snap to window bounds so you never clip a shadow by two pixels.

What comes next
Recording first. Editing right behind it.
The capture side is finished and stable, so that is what ships today. Everything below is already scoped, in order, with no dates invented to look busy.
- 0.9Shipped
Capture and export
Displays, areas, windows and camera. Countdown, frame rate, quality, cursor, click highlights, camera bubble, microphone and system audio.
- 1.0In progress
Custom file names
Name templates with date, time, capture mode, display and a counter, so recordings sort themselves before they reach the folder.
- 1.1Planned
Trim and cut
A timeline that opens the moment a recording stops. Trim the ends, cut the dead middle, export again without leaving the app.
- 1.2Planned
Motion and zoom
Automatic zoom that follows the cursor, smoothed pointer movement, and background padding for the shots that need to look composed.
Straight answers
Questions worth asking first.
Which Macs does it run on?
Any Mac on macOS 13 Ventura or later, Apple silicon or Intel. On Apple silicon a 60 fps recording of a full display barely registers on the processor, so whatever you are demonstrating stays smooth.
Is there a Windows version?
No, and there is no plan for one. ScreenIt is built directly against the Mac, which is exactly why the capture is cheap and the files come out clean. A port would mean a different app.
Do my recordings leave my Mac?
Never. Recording, encoding and saving all happen locally. There is no account to make, no upload step and no tracking. The only thing the app ever asks the internet is whether a newer version exists.
Can I edit a recording inside ScreenIt?
Not yet. Trimming and cutting land in 1.1 and cursor zoom in 1.2, both included in every plan. Until then a finished capture opens straight into whatever editor you already use.
Ready when you are
Record the next one properly.
One download, no account, no upload step. Open it, pick a frame, and the file is in your folder before you have switched windows.
