Yapcam
Free, open source screen recorder and editor for Mac
Record your screen and Yapcam zooms in where you click and smooths the cursor. Trim it, then export MP4, MOV or GIF. Runs locally on your Mac: no account, no watermark, no paid tier. Apache 2.0. macOS 15+, Apple Silicon.
Hi Product Hunt, I'm Kilian.
I record demos for my own products all the time, and I didn't want to pay a subscription just to make them look decent. Screen Studio showed how good a plain screen recording can look. I wanted that free, local and open source, so I built Yapcam.
You record a screen, window or area. Yapcam adds zooms where you click and smooths the cursor. You trim, adjust and export MP4, MOV or GIF. Your recordings never leave your Mac, there is no account and no watermark.
Honest state: this is 0.11, the first public build. It needs macOS 15 and Apple Silicon. Yapcam checks for updates and installs them with one click, so fixes reach you fast.
I'd love for you to try it on a real demo and tell me what broke or felt slow. Issues on GitHub or a reply here both work.
