Skrimo

The Mac screen recorder that captures internal audio

Internal audio, built in

Record screen and audio on Mac

macOS can’t record the sound your Mac plays: the screenshot toolbar and QuickTime only hear your microphone. Skrimo captures both. Switch on System audio and Microphone, press Start, and your Mac’s sound and your voice are recorded together, on separate tracks you can balance before you export.

  • No BlackHole, Soundflower or Audio MIDI Setup
  • Speakers and volume keys keep working while you record
  • Turn app sound down under your narration in the editor

Screen recorder with audio for Mac: the Skrimo menu bar panel with System audio, Microphone and Camera switched on
How it works

From raw recording to finished video in three steps

  1. 01

    Record

    Click the menu bar icon, pick a screen, window or area, and switch on audio and camera.

  2. 02

    Polish, automatically

    Skrimo zooms in where you clicked, smooths the cursor and frames the video on a background.

  3. 03

    Export

    Trim, cut and tweak on a simple timeline, then export MP4 up to 4K or a GIF.

A simple editor

Looks edited. Wasn’t.

Every recording opens in an editor that already did the work: zooms on your clicks, a smooth cursor, padding, rounded corners and a soft shadow. Change the background, move the webcam, adjust a zoom, cut a mistake. Undo anything.

  • Auto-zoom blocks you can edit on the timeline
  • Aspect presets: 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:5
  • Export MP4 (1080p, 4K) or GIF
Features

Everything a screen recorder for Mac should do

Record screen, window or area

Capture a whole display, a single app window, or any area you draw. Recording starts from the menu bar in two clicks.

System audio and microphone

Record your Mac’s internal audio and your voice at the same time, on separate tracks you can balance later. No virtual audio driver needed.

Webcam bubble

Add your face in a round or rounded-square bubble. Drag it anywhere while you record, then move or resize it in the editor.

Automatic zoom

Skrimo zooms in where you click and type, and glides along with your cursor. Every zoom is a block on the timeline you can edit.

Smooth, larger cursor

Shaky mouse movements become smooth glides. Make the cursor bigger, add click highlights, and hide it when it sits still.

Backgrounds, padding, shadow

Frame your recording on a clean background with rounded corners and a soft shadow, so it looks designed, not captured.

Simple timeline

Trim the start and end, cut out mistakes, and adjust zooms. Undo everything. No video-editing experience needed.

Export MP4 or GIF up to 4K

One-click presets for YouTube, X, LinkedIn and vertical video. 1080p or 4K MP4, or a lightweight GIF for docs and READMEs.
