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. 🎉Simple, free, configurable output types, FPS, and size. It would be nice to see a preview of the FPS and size on the preview screen, but it is perfect otherwise.
- 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.

- 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.

- Wilco de KreijCEO UpViral · 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.
- Duane HardyPresident of Forklift Systems Inc. · WrittenVery easy to use. Not only captures video but also snapshots with photo editing tools.
- Bram JansenCybersecurity & VPN enthusiast · WrittenIt records clear audio and videos and comes with a full-featured video editor. It’s also simple and easy to use.Not only can you record from multiple monitors, but you can choose to record from your webcam and connected iOS device simultaneously. Combine that with the ability to record audio, and you have the perfect setup for creating video tutorials
