Why crenya capture
A recorder that keeps to itself.
Most free recorders want an account, send your video to their servers or show you ads. crenya capture does none of that: the app contains no network code at all.
Free, all of it
Every feature is included. There is no paid tier and no account to create.
Private by design
Recordings are saved as ordinary files on your Mac. crenya capture makes no network connections and collects no analytics.
Native to macOS
Built on Apple's ScreenCaptureKit and VideoToolbox for smooth, efficient recording in H.264, HEVC or ProRes.
Safe if something crashes
Recordings are written in a crash-safe format and can be recovered if your Mac or the app stops mid-recording.
What it does
Record, present, edit, export.
Everything from a quick screenshot to a narrated walkthrough, in one small app.
Voice and system sound
Capture your microphone and your Mac's sound together, and mute or switch them while you record.
Pause and resume
Pause and pick up again without losing sync between picture and sound.
Webcam overlay
Put yourself in the corner of the recording, with a floating preview while you talk.
Trim, crop, speed, titles
Cut out mistakes, crop, change the speed or volume and add titles before you export.
A styled frame, or a GIF
Add a background, padding, rounded corners and a shadow, or export a short clip as a GIF.
Capture and annotate
Take PNG, JPEG or HEIC screenshots and mark them up before copying them anywhere.
Menu bar and hotkeys
Start and stop from the menu bar, a capture dock or configurable global shortcuts.
