MIT-licensed app
Three pillars
Built for Mac. Built for you.
Mac-native polish
System fonts. Vibrancy. Tray + dock. Keyboard-first. Like the Mac apps you already love.
A real editor
Trim, speed, captions, zoom markers, GIF. Not a recorder bolt-on.
See how it works
One app. Two halves. Both fast.
The capture half handles every recording and screenshot mode. The editor half polishes whatever you captured — without leaving the app.
Record
Full screen, window, or region. System audio + mic. 30 fps.
Screenshot
Full, region, window. Plus scroll-stitch and freeze frame.
Annotate
Draw, text, shapes. Pin above any window. OCR built in.
The editor
Trim. Caption. Zoom. Export.
The same app you recorded with handles the polish. Multi-segment timeline, variable speed, time-coded captions, zoom keyframes, GIF export.
Hit⌘+⇧+Rto start recording from anywhere.

Privacy by construction
ScreenMan literally cannot phone home.
We grep the entire source tree on every build. One match — and it reads a local file.
$ grep -RIn -E 'fetch|axios|http\.request|telemetry|analytics|sentry|posthog|segment|mixpanel|amplitude' src/
src/main/index.js:412: net.fetch('file://' + path)
# 1 match — and it reads a local file.
# Not a network request.Pricing
