What's the best screen recording app for Mac?
I'm looking to provide a colleague with a screen recording app to record video walk throughs of our software and looking for the best option. Ease of use and reliability are key.

- Øyvind NordbøDesigner · WrittenI use this one for all of my screen recording needs. A super simple free app that lives in your menu bar. Exports to GIF, WebM and MP4. 👌Timothy made this productI'm a bit bias since I worked on Kap; but as an actual user of it daily for my full-time job, I can't recommend it enough. I've tried many others and have never been fully satisfied as I have with the ease and quality of Kap and its resulting Kaptures. 🎉
- Ruslan GirichevDesigner · WrittenUse CloudApp to record and share videos. I also use native QuickTime Player – just click File > New Screen Recording. QuickTime can also record iPhone/iPad screen by New Movie Recording, you will see yourself but can switch to device via arrow icon near the rec button.
- Free. Simple. Effective. It is missing advanced features, but for simply recording the screen (or a window/area of the screen), a voice/audio stream and highlighting clicks, you can't beat it.Jeff Ski KinseyEntrepreneur & Marketing Mad Man™ · WrittenIt just works. Free with every Mac.
- Jonno RiekwelProduct Designer · WrittenGreat app that has a lot to offer. It feels almost pro, but it stays quite simple to use.
- Antoine Ynghttps://twitter.com/UXjabs · WrittenI use this one. Damn simple and free!
- Harald EckmüllerUX Lead, IdeasOnCanvas · WrittenSimple yet powerful tool if you don't need a full fledged editing suite, but rather a robust and lean tool that comes with all the necessary features.
- Ciocanel RazvanCo-Founder of EpicCoders · WrittenI use this one. It's also free and it has screenshots and video recording. As well as annotations that you can add after doing a screenshot. You can also save files to dropbox or even ftp.
- Lim Chee AunProduct Engineer · WrittenI use this pretty often. Can adjust framerate, loop and trim before exporting to GIF or video.
- Wilco de Kreij3CEO UpViral & Connectio · WrittenEasiest way to record screen captures (both video & GIF) I came across, even after trying pretty much EVERY alternative out there.
- Amol UmbarkarFounder, Amplabs · WrittenI used Loom recently for recording my product screens in chrome. Not sure if you are looking for something like this.
