BetterCapture is a free, open-source macOS screen recording application designed for high-quality video capture with a native interface. Built using SwiftUI and Apple's ScreenCaptureKit, it operates from the menu bar without requiring a browser-based interface. Users can record selected screen content or specific areas for tutorials, demonstrations, and other projects. The application supports professional video codecs, including ProRes 422, ProRes 4444, HEVC, and H.264. Advanced recording options include HDR and alpha channel support for compatible content. System audio and microphone input can be recorded simultaneously. Content filtering enables users to exclude selected elements from recordings. Recordings are stored locally without tracking or analytics, while custom URL commands provide integration with Apple Shortcuts, Raycast, and Alfred.
