Record. Mark takes. Keep the good ones.
Record both Screen and Webcam in different files.
Stop scrubbing through long recordings to hunt down the take that actually worked. QuickTakes is the only Mac screen recorder built around takes: flag each segment Good or Bad while you record, and the editor auto-strips the bad ones and exports only your keepers as clean, cut clips. Shooting a tutorial, lesson, demo, or course and need a few attempts to nail each line? Mark it, move on — when you stop, the bad takes are already gone.
THE TAKES WORKFLOW — nothing else on Mac does this
• Start a new take with Option-S, anytime mid-recording
• Nailed it? Option-G. Flubbed it? Option-B. An on-screen toast confirms every mark
• The editor auto-strips your bad takes and exports only the good ones
• Non-destructive: your original recording is never touched; only export re-encodes
REVIEW IN SECONDS
• Single-click any take to play it instantly
• Hit All to watch the full recording end to end
• Accept or reject each take, then export the keepers
CAPTURE ANYTHING ON SCREEN
• Record a full display, a single window, or a draggable region
• Captures at true physical pixels — crisp text and UI, native resolution
• H.264, HEVC, or ProRes, up to native resolution and 60fps
• System audio plus microphone, cursor toggle, cancelable countdown
• Constant frame rate (no variable-speed artifacts) and crash-resilient files
CONTROL WITHOUT BREAKING FLOW
• Menu-bar control: start, stop, cancel, quick take actions, reveal last recording
• Global, reassignable hotkeys: Option-Cmd-R to record, Option-S/G/B for takes
• Hotkeys work in the background with NO Accessibility permission required
MORE FOR CREATORS
• Record your webcam to its own separate file
• Live stream to OBS through a built-in local server
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Native, sandboxed Mac app. No tracking. No account.
QuickTakes is completely free — every feature included. If it saves you time, you can leave an optional tip to support development (one-off or monthly). Tipping unlocks nothing extra.
Record. Mark takes. Keep the good ones.
