A screen recorder that lives in your tray. Click it, drag a rectangle around anything, and it records just that — until you press the hotkey you picked yourself.

One licence covers up to five of your own computers. Buying gives you a key you paste into Settings — the app checks it once and then keeps working offline, and the licence never expires.

Checkout is still in test mode while the store is being set up, so purchases are not live yet. The three-day trial inside the app needs no card.

Where it runs

Honest platform support

Platform Status Drag on screen Your own hotkey
Windows 10 / 11 Available Yes Yes, system-wide
macOS In progress Yes Needs Screen Recording permission Yes, system-wide
Linux · X11 In progress Yes Yes, system-wide
Linux · Wayland In progress Partly Your desktop picks the screen first, then you crop Through the desktop's own shortcut settings
ChromeOS Web version only No Chrome picks the source, then you crop No On-screen stop button instead

Why ChromeOS is different

ChromeOS doesn't let an installed app see the rest of the screen — a Linux app in the container would launch happily and record a black rectangle. So the Chromebook version is a web app, which can record and save to your folder, but can't sit in your shelf waiting or claim a keyboard shortcut across the whole system. Those two are real losses and it's better to say so here than to let you find out after downloading.
