ezRecord Try it free Record your Mac.
Edit the words.
ezRecord records your screen and camera, writes down what you say, and cuts the video when you cut the text. Everything happens on your Mac.
14 days with everything, no card needed. For macOS 26.2 or later.
Made for the shape you post
Pick the shape before you record and it comes out right, no cropping later.
From an idea to a script you can say
Tell ezRecord what you’re making, out loud or typed. It writes a script in your voice, puts it on a prompter under your camera, and remembers the plan for the edit.
“A 60-second launch for my app, as a cold open.”
- Directions and formats: launch, tutorial, explainer, founder story; Before → After, cold open, found footage and more.
- Sounds like you, not a robot: scripts are checked for AI tells, made-up numbers and lines too long to say.
- Archive footage: turn it on and the script plans public-domain shots from old films, placed over the right lines after you record.
- Start from a video you like: ezRecord measures its pace, captions and framing on your Mac and makes your edit follow it.
Explainers, films and walkthroughs
The formats that do well in 2026, one click each, and every one of them still yours to change.
- Explainer layouts: graphics on a stage above you in a rounded card, one or two words of caption at a time, and a punch-in on the lines that land.
- Designed layouts: Float, Anchor, Cinema, Spotlight and more, or describe one and the assistant designs it.
- Phones and laptops: put a clip or screenshot in a device, alone or as a grid.
- Recipes: Talking head, Cinematic, Explainer, Found footage, one click and one undo; the parts that need taste go to the assistant.
- Films with no recording: a script narrated in your voice, with graphics, archive shots and product walkthroughs on top.
- Walkthroughs recorded for you: an AI agent that can use your Mac clicks through your app while ezRecord films each shot.
Fix a word in your own voice
Said Tuesday when you meant Wednesday? Retype it. ezRecord re-speaks it in a clone of your voice and keeps the picture playing, so there’s no retake and no jump cut.
We ship it on Tuesday Wednesday.
- Dub into 12 languages in your own voice.
- Hindi, Hinglish and 21 Indian languages transcribed and captioned properly.
- Music and sound effects made from a sentence, as long as your video.
- Studio voice that lifts you out of a noisy room.
With your own ElevenLabs or Sarvam key. Nothing is sent until you use one of these.
Or let your agent do the editing
ezRecord runs a small server on your Mac with over 130 tools: record, cut, caption, zoom, lay out, export. Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini and the rest use exactly the buttons you do, and every change is one ⌘Z away.
Copy the address, passcode included, from Settings › Agents. Nothing else on your Mac can use the server without it.
Teach it how you edit
Drop your logo, a song or a clip into the assistant and say what to do with it. Then save the way you like it as a skill, and next time it’s one sentence.
“Add my logo sting on every cut.”
- Attach files to the chat: images, music and video, dropped in or picked.
- Your own images in animated graphics: a lower third with your logo, a title card in your colours.
- Skills in the SKILL.md format Claude Code uses: your house style, a client’s branding, your intro and outro.
- Shared with your agents: Claude Code and Cursor see the same skills over MCP.
The judgment calls, made for you
Some edits need a little sense, not a whole conversation. ezRecord asks a fast decision model, and code makes every cut, so nothing is invented.
- Retakes without a script: the line you said twice and the sentence you dropped halfway, cut.
- Highlights and chapters: the clips worth posting, and where each topic starts.
- Smart zoom: frames the button you clicked, not just the spot.
- It checks its own work: a weak opening, a title that doesn’t match what you said, dead air.
With your own TypeSafe key, added in Settings › AI. A recording costs a fraction of a cent.
And the rest of a good recording
- A prompter that listens
- It scrolls as you speak, waits when you pause, and marks every line you read twice so the last take wins.
- Captions people read
- Burned in, timed to each word, with key words in your colour. Nine ways for them to arrive.
- Your camera, cleaned up
- Blur the room behind you or swap it for a colour, a gradient or a picture. Looks and a gentle grade.
- Hide what’s private
- Record only the apps you pick, with desktop icons and notifications gone. After, ezRecord finds API keys, passwords and emails on screen and blurs them, without anything leaving your Mac.
- The edits you expect
- Split, speed, freeze frame, reverse, 13 transitions, J-cuts and L-cuts, keyframes, music that ducks under your voice.
- Looks from the movies
- Film, golden hour, noir, Technicolor, day for night, an 80s CRT, with grain, glow and colour fringes.
- A coach before and after
- Before a take it checks your light, framing and mic. After, it shows your pace, ums and eye contact, and you note how it felt, so you can see yourself get better.
- Out the door
- 4K, 1080p, a GIF, or “fit under 25 MB”. Loudness set for YouTube. Subtitles in any language your Mac speaks.
One app, every feature

Questions
What do I need?
A Mac with macOS 26.2 or later. Screen recording, camera and microphone permissions, which ezRecord asks for once.
Does my video leave my Mac?
No. Recording, transcription, captions and export all run on your Mac. The only time anything is sent anywhere is when you use a cloud feature with your own key: ElevenLabs or Sarvam for voice, TypeSafe for quick judgments (it gets the transcript, and frames only for smart zoom, which asks first), or a cloud model you choose for the assistant.
Which agents can drive it?
Anything that speaks MCP: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Gemini CLI, opencode, Zed, Windsurf, Cline and Claude Desktop. Grok can run it from your Mac, and other bots through plain HTTP function calls. Settings › Agents has the setup for each. The server runs on your Mac at 127.0.0.1 and is off to the outside world unless you turn on remote access.
Where does archive footage come from?
Free public archives: the Internet Archive (Prelinger films, US government films, 78rpm records) and the Moving Image Archive. ezRecord only offers what’s free to reuse and puts each credit in your video’s description. Searching sends only your search words.
Do I need API keys?
Not to record, edit or export. The built-in assistant uses Apple Intelligence by default. Keys only unlock the cloud extras: your own voice, dubbing, Indian-language transcripts, music and sound from a prompt, and with TypeSafe, retakes without a script, highlights and smart zoom.
What is a skill?
A folder with a SKILL.md, the same format Claude Code uses: instructions plus files such as a logo or intro music. Add one in Settings › Agents and the assistant uses it when you ask. Skills are text and files only; ezRecord never runs code from one.
What happens after the trial?
You get 14 days with everything, no card needed. After that, pick a plan to keep recording and exporting. Your projects stay yours and still open either way.
How many Macs?
Every plan covers up to three Macs of your own. Monthly and yearly renew until you cancel from the link in your receipt; lifetime is paid once.
How does it update?
It checks once a day and asks before installing. Every update is signed and notarized by Apple.
