Tapes: Screencast Sharing for Mac download

Instant screen captures with Tapes

Tapes is a straightforward tool for recording your entire display, a single window, or a selected region. After you stop a recording, the app immediately produces a shareable link so you can distribute the clip right away. Its clean design makes it suitable for both newcomers and experienced users.

Works well for casual demonstrations, tutorials, and professional walkthroughs

Getting started quickly

Open Tapes, select the area you want to capture, press record, and stop when finished. Copy the generated URL and paste it to email, chat, or your preferred collaboration platform—no file attachments required.
