About
We built the screen recorder we kept wishing existed
Not because the world needs another one, but because every recording we made cost an evening in somebody else’s timeline — and the ones that did not were unwatchable.
It always started the same way. Record three minutes of a product doing something clever, watch it back, and discover that nobody can see what was clicked: a 4K display replayed in a 1080p player turns every button and every field into a grey smudge.
So the recording goes into an editor, and the three minutes become forty. Import. Keyframe a zoom onto the first click. Keyframe it back. Do that eleven more times. Cut the bit where the page was loading. Discover the aspect ratio was wrong for where it was going. Export again.
The alternative on offer was to upload the whole thing to somebody’s server and let it be processed there — which is a strange thing to be asked to do with a video of your own customers’ data.
ReScreen is the third option. The clicks are recorded as events while you talk, so the zooms build themselves. The editor opens on the take the moment you stop. And every frame of it stays on your Mac.
What we believe
Four opinions, built into the product
These are not values on a wall. Each one is a decision you can see in the application.
The safest place for a recording is the Mac that made it
Screen recordings are the most sensitive video most people ever make: customer data, internal dashboards, an inbox left open in the corner. Uploading that to be “processed” is a risk nobody asked for, so nothing is uploaded.
The boring part should not be your job
Keyframing a zoom onto every click is work a computer can do from the clicks it already recorded. The app does it while you are still talking, and leaves you the part that needs judgement.
One price, the whole application
There is no tier where the zoom works. Every plan, from $12, unlocks everything — no watermark, no time limit, and no feature held back to make an upgrade page look busier.
Native, not a browser in a costume
It is written in Swift against ScreenCaptureKit, AVFoundation and Core Image — the frameworks macOS already uses to do this well. That is why it captures a Retina display without turning your fans into a hairdryer.
What we will never do
The list that is easiest to keep
Every item here is a business model we have chosen not to have. That is the only kind of promise worth printing: the ones that cost something to keep.
Read the Privacy PolicyUpload your recordings anywhere, for any reason, including to make the product better.
Train anything on your footage. We never receive it, so there is nothing to train on.
Sell, rent or share your personal information.
Put a watermark on work you paid to make.
Hold a feature back so that a more expensive plan looks better.
Ship advertising or cross-site tracking inside the app.
Who makes it
Independent, and paid for by you
ReScreen is independent and self-funded. There are no investors to grow for and no advertising business underneath, which is why the app costs money and why it has never needed your data to pay for itself.
The same people write the code, answer the support address and decide what gets built next — and what gets built next comes mostly from the feedback button inside the app. If something in your workflow is still costing you an evening, that is the message worth sending.
Record the next one properly
Install it, hit ⌥⌘R, and watch a take that would normally cost you an evening in a timeline come out finished.
