Screen, area, window or app
Record a full display, an area you drag out, one or more windows, or every window of a single app.
Features
TinyRecorder starts from the menu bar or the Dock and keeps the recording controls in the menu bar while you record.
Recording
System audio and microphone
Capture the sound your Mac plays, with or without your microphone, or record audio only (AAC, MP3 or Opus).
iPhone and iPad
Record the screen of an iPhone or iPad connected by cable. macOS treats the device as a camera, so this uses the Camera permission.
Camera overlay and Presenter Overlay
Show your camera in a floating overlay while you record, or use Presenter Overlay on macOS 14 and later.
Quality and output
H.265 or H.264, MP4 or MOV
Choose the codec and container, resolution, frame rate and quality. On first launch TinyRecorder suggests an encoder for your Mac.
HDR and alpha channel
Record HDR on Macs with a hardware H.265 encoder, and record with an alpha channel for transparent backgrounds.
Built-in trimmer
Optionally open a trimmer when you stop, to cut the start and end before you share.
Save a frame
Save the current frame as an image while recording.
Control and privacy
Keyboard shortcuts
Set shortcuts to stop, pause and resume, record the screen or the frontmost window, select an area, save a frame or toggle the screen magnifier.
Cursor and magnifier
Show or hide the pointer, highlight it, and zoom into details with the screen magnifier.
Leave things out
Exclude chosen apps, TinyRecorder itself and the files on your desktop from recordings.
Countdown and updates
Add a delay before recording starts. Built-in updates install new versions in place and keep your permissions.
