OpenScreen

OpenScreen is an open-source app for macOS with which you can record your Mac's screen and edit the videos from the same program to create professional results. It doesn't require a subscription and doesn't add any watermarks, offering a simple and free alternative to complex recording tools, perfect for creating tutorials, demos, and other audiovisual content with excellent results.

Selective screen or app recordings

This app automatically detects all your monitors and open windows, allowing you to choose between recording the full screen or focusing on a specific app without showing the rest of the desktop. From a minimalist floating window, you can control the start and end of the recording with a single click.

Advanced editing with zooms and effects

After finishing the recording, OpenScreen opens the editor where you can refine every detail of the video from its timeline. You can add dynamic zooms at key moments and adjust their position, size, and duration, apply subtle shadows, or crop the edges to center the action. You will also have various professional backgrounds at your disposal, such as solid colors, smooth gradients, your own images, or motion blur effects to smooth cursor movements. By default, there are dozens of images reminiscent of high-quality macOS wallpapers.

Smart annotations and overlays

With OpenScreen, you can customize your recordings by overlaying explanatory text, directional arrows, or images at specific points on the timeline, highlighting important elements while you speak or point. You can remove silences, adjust the pacing by eliminating unnecessary pauses, and organize all the content before exporting in multiple formats and resolutions according to your needs.

Immediate execution without installation

OpenScreen is a portable app: simply run the file and start recording without any complex installation processes. This tool remains lightweight and responds instantaneously, allowing for the creation of professional content without sacrificing simplicity or speed of use.
