What is BetterCapture?

BetterCapture is a free, open-source screen recording software for macOS. It integrates seamlessly with macOS, residing in the menu bar for easy access. Built with SwiftUI and ScreenCaptureKit, it offers professional encoding options like ProRes 422/4444, HEVC (H.265), and H.264 codecs, all supporting alpha channel and HDR. The software allows flexible audio capture, including system audio and microphone input. It also has a content filtering feature for excluding specific content from recordings. As a privacy-focused software, it doesn't track or collect data, storing all recordings locally.
