Recorder Walkthrough

Start will be disabled until you select a recording area. After selecting, an informative pop-up related to the selected area will be displayed above the button.

Clicking Start will instantly start the recording. Floating controls will appear, displaying the recording time and a button to stop the recording. You can drag them anywhere on the screen.

If your camera is enabled, a floating window will also appear showing your camera preview. This window can also be dragged around, and it won't be visible in the recording.

This will open the internal macOS display/window picker. You can pick a specific window to record, or an entire display (from the top-right corner).

*Known Issue: On some machines the window 'Select' button might not be clickable. This is an internal macOS issue, and the only known workaround is to move the window around until the button becomes clickable.

This will open a resizable selection that you can move and resize as you want. Cut out any part of the screen or input a custom resolution.

While recording the screen, it will also record your camera. A floating window will appear showing your camera preview, but it won't be visible in the recording.

It will open the recorder's settings. You can open your recordings directory (or select another one) and make changes such as: FPS, microphone, camera, cursor visibility.

Clicking this will hide the app, while keeping it alive. You can bring it back by clicking flowy's dock icon.
