GiliSoft Screen Recorder for Mac captures the activity you want to explain, demonstrate, or revisit. Record the full display when moving between applications, select a custom area for a focused walkthrough, or choose App Window to capture one application. Turn software steps, presentations, and online lessons into videos people can replay.
Bring the explanation together with internal audio, microphone narration, and webcam video. Capture the sound playing on your Mac and add your own commentary, or include a webcam presenter alongside the screen. Choose Audio Only when you need the sound without recording a video.
Make important details easier to follow with live drawing, text, arrows, cursor highlights, and click effects. Capture snapshots for written instructions, control the session with hotkeys, and add a text or image watermark to identify your videos. Auto Stop and Auto Split help keep longer meetings, lessons, and demonstrations manageable.
Set video quality and frame rate before recording, save screen videos as MP4, and use MP3 for audio-only output. After capture, the file list shows each recording's name, duration, size, and date so you can find the right session, play it back, and open its folder. Share a clear explanation with students, customers, or teammates without having to repeat the same live demonstration.
Record the complete Mac display, select a custom region, or capture one application window. Keep the focus on the steps your viewers need to see.
Add a webcam presenter to your screen recording for lessons, product demos, and personal explanations. Use Camera mode when you only need a camera video.
Capture system sound, microphone narration, or both together, so tutorials, webinars, support recordings, and reaction-style clips stay easy to produce.
Choose Audio Only to capture computer sound or spoken narration without screen video. Save an audio recording when a voice note or listening copy is all you need.
Set a recording duration in seconds or a file-size limit in MB. Apply the rule to the current session or future recordings so capture ends at the limit you choose.
Split long recordings automatically by time or file size, so large sessions stay easier to store, upload, review, and share in smaller parts.
Draw, add text, and use arrows or shapes to emphasize buttons, fields, and important details while explaining a process on screen.
Save snapshots of important on-screen steps for help articles, support replies, presentation notes, and other written instructions.
Use shortcuts to start or stop recording, pause or resume, toggle the webcam, and take a screenshot. Review the assigned keys in Settings before your session.
Include cursor movement and click effects when you want tutorials and walkthrough recordings to feel easier for viewers to follow.
Find completed recordings by name, duration, size, and date. Play a selected file, open its folder, or remove an unneeded take from the file list.
Save MP4 screen videos and MP3 audio recordings. Set video quality and frame rate for the session, then check the saved file before uploading or sharing it.
