Quick Recorder

Quick Recorder is a lightweight, open‑source screen‑recording utility for macOS that focuses on capturing visual content with minimal overhead. It leverages the native ScreenCapture Kit API to record full screens, individual windows, or specific applications, and can also capture system audio without requiring additional drivers on macOS 13 and newer. The software includes a “Presenter Overlay” feature on macOS 14, allowing a webcam feed to be composited over the recording, while earlier macOS versions provide a floating camera window.

The tool supports simultaneous recording of a Mac display and an iPhone or iPad, enabling multi‑device capture in a single session, though this mode is unavailable in single‑window recording. It is compatible with macOS 12.3 and later, and the source is freely available under an open‑source license, with a stable release status.

Quick Recorder is aimed at users who need a simple, high‑performance solution for creating screen videos on macOS, such as educators, developers, or content creators who want to record without installing third‑party audio drivers or dealing with complex configurations.
