Zero-lag capture
Built on ScreenCaptureKit, the same low-level framework Apple uses for its own screen recording - smooth output even on older Macs.
Capture windows, selected areas, or your entire display. Built on Apple's ScreenCaptureKit for smooth, high-quality recordings.
Requires macOS 13 Ventura or later · Apple Silicon & Intel
Most Mac screen recorders are either bundled with a dozen features you'll never use, or locked behind a subscription. Synapse's Screen Recorder does one thing extremely well: capture your screen instantly, with no lag and no setup. It's rebuilt on Apple's ScreenCaptureKit, so the recording toolbar and selection border are excluded from the output - even when you record the whole screen. Free users get full recording with a small Synapse watermark; Pro removes it.

Recordings save automatically the moment you stop - no export step, no waiting.
Free recordings include a small Synapse badge. Pro removes it completely for clean, shareable video.
