A screen recorder for the Mac
Beautiful screen recordings. Pay once. Yours forever.
Grabito zooms in where you click, smooths your cursor and sets your recording on a lovely background, so it comes out finished without you doing anything.
How it works
Record. Edit. Export.
Press record and the rest is done. The editor is there when you want it, and Export is one click away.
Pick a display, a window or an area. Add your camera, mic and your Mac's sound if you like.
Trim the ends, move or resize a zoom, change the background. Your edits save by themselves.
Get an MP4 in 1080p or 4K, for a wide screen, a phone or a square feed.
Before and after
The same recording, finished.
On the left, what a plain recorder gives you. On the right, what Grabito makes of it without you lifting a finger.
Everything else
Everything else you'd want.
A short list, kept short on purpose.
Zooms where you click
The camera moves in on what you're pointing at and back out when you're done, with no keyframes to set. Nearby clicks glide; far ones zoom out first.
A cursor that glides
Shaky mouse movements become smooth ones, and each click gets a soft ripple. The cursor turns into an I-beam over text and a hand over links.
You, in the corner
Add your camera as a bubble that moves out of the cursor's way, then comes back to its corner.
Your voice, cleaned up
Mic and your Mac's sound each get their own volume. Quiet mics are raised, and background noise can be removed without touching the original.
Start from anywhere
Press ⌘⇧2 in any app to start and stop. A 3-2-1 countdown gives you a moment, and Esc cancels.
Out the door
Save an MP4, or send it straight to your own Google Drive with the link copied for you. Share by AirDrop, Mail or Messages.
Principles
What Grabito stands for.
- I
Beautiful by default.
Your recording comes out finished, with zooms, a smooth cursor and a lovely background, before you touch a thing.
- II
Opinionated, on purpose.
Grabito makes the choices for you, and they're good ones. If you want to change something, there are just a few simple controls.
- III
Private by design.
Recordings stay on your Mac unless you choose to send one to your own Google Drive. There's no account, and no tracking, in the app or on this site.
- IV
Pay once.
No subscription. The app keeps working for as long as you want it, and a year of updates comes with it.
- V
Nothing to learn.
You don't need to know video editing. Open the controls only if you want to change something.

Questions
Before you ask.
Do I have to pay to try it?
No. The trial has every feature with no time limit. Exports just carry a small watermark until you buy a license.
What happens after the year of updates?
The app keeps working, forever. You keep the last version your license covers, and you can renew to get newer ones.
Where do my recordings go?
They stay on your Mac, and you don't need an account. Nothing is uploaded unless you choose to send a video to your own Google Drive, and then it goes straight there, under your Google account: we never see it.
Which Macs does it run on?
Macs with Apple silicon, running macOS 14 Sonoma or later.
Do I need to know video editing?
No. Your video comes out finished. You only open the controls if you want to change something.
