Capture in true 10-bit HEVC or Apple ProRes — preserving smooth gradients with no banding, end to end.
Area, window or full screen. A menu-bar companion, pause/resume, and one-click stills — every detail of the capture in your hands.
Area (any rectangle), single window, or full screen. Windows are captured cleanly even when hidden behind others, and brought to the front when you start.
One-click PHOTO button. Save as HEIC (keeps 10-bit, ~10× smaller) or PNG (universal, lossless).
Pause as many times as you like. The paused interval is removed from the final file — no freeze frames.
Record audio from other apps alongside the video. Perfect for meetings, tutorials and demos.
An always-on status icon (red blinking while recording, cyan while paused). Pause or stop straight from the dropdown.
Every mode targets the screen Rec10bit is on — just move the window to the display you want. The capture region is framed in red.
Mix the microphone in with the system audio. Set the balance with a slider, and check the input on a level meter before you start.
Record sound with no picture — for meeting notes, or laying down a narration track first.
Choose AAC, ALAC lossless or 32-bit float. System audio and microphone can also be written as their own files, so the balance can be redone later.
The system audio eases down while you are speaking and comes back afterwards. Off by default, and the per-source files keep the original either way.
Balance and microphone mute both work while recording. If the mic is unplugged, sends no signal, or is driven into clipping, it says so at the time.
8-bit recording tends to show steps (banding) in skies and gradients. Rec10bit runs a full 10-bit pipeline end to end, in the Display P3 wide gamut, keeping everything smooth.
On Retina / scaled displays it records at the display's true native pixels (super-sampled), not the lower logical resolution macOS reports — for maximum sharpness.
Pick Custom at the end of the ratio presets for a free W:H — or the exact pixel size of the output video. The codec is selectable across every mode.
Enter a size and the selection frame becomes a fixed rectangle you only drag to position. The output ignores backing scale and quality multipliers, locked precisely to the pixels you typed.
10-bit HEVC Main10, .mp4. Compact and easy — the default codec.
.mov, intra-frame and edit-ready. Ideal for Final Cut Pro and other NLEs.
.mov, standard ProRes. Near-lossless, top quality — larger files.
The watermark ("Rec10bit PRO Trial") only appears during the 7-day free trial. The one-time purchase removes it instantly and unlocks unlimited recording and stills.
No. There's no limit on length or number of recordings — the only cap is the free space on your destination disk.
Yes. ProRes 422 LT / 422 are intra-frame .mov files that import directly into Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve.
No account and no sign-in. Recordings and stills are written only to the local folder you choose, and the app does no network communication or analytics of its own.
Just use Restore Purchases on the paywall with the same Apple Account — no extra cost. It is a one-time purchase, so it never expires.
Record and capture right away during the trial (output is watermarked). One purchase removes the watermark and unlocks everything for good.
