About this app

Screen Recording

Record screen as video or GIF with system audio and microphone support.

Quick Overlay

Captured screenshot floats on screen for quick annotation, copying, or dragging into other apps.

Annotation

Arrows, text, blur, highlight, numbering, and more with a built-in editor.
