Common issues

The recording is black, or nothing captures

  • macOS has not granted Screen Recording access. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security → Screen & System Audio Recording and enable Screen Records.
  • macOS usually needs the app relaunched before it honours the change. Quit it fully (⌘Q) and open it again.
  • The setup window has a Fix Permissions… button that opens the correct pane and re-checks when you return.

No sound, or the camera bubble is missing

  • Microphone and Camera are separate macOS permissions — enable them in System Settings → Privacy & Security.
  • Check the device pickers in the setup window: if a headset was unplugged, macOS may have switched the default input.
  • System audio is captured separately from the microphone. If you need the app audio, make sure the System toggle is on before recording.

I paid but the app is still locked

  • Give it a minute — activation depends on a confirmation from Stripe that occasionally lags.
  • In the app, choose Restore License and enter your purchase email, or use the restore page on this site.
  • Still locked? Email us with your purchase email and the reference from the checkout success page.

Machine limit reached

  • A one-Mac license activates one machine at a time; the three-Mac license covers three.
  • To move a seat, email support from your purchase email and tell us which Mac to release. We usually clear it the same day.
  • Self-service device management is planned but not in this release.

macOS blocked the download

  • Every build is signed with an Apple Developer ID and notarized, so Gatekeeper should open it normally.
  • If you see an “unidentified developer” warning, the file probably did not come from this site — download it again from the download page.
  • Some corporate networks strip the quarantine attributes and break the disk image. Try downloading off the VPN.

Sending diagnostics

  • In the app, use Help → Export Diagnostics. It writes a .zip to the folder you choose.
  • The file contains app logs, macOS version and permission state. It does not contain your recordings, project contents, or file paths outside the app’s own folder.
  • Attach it to your support email — it turns a two-day back-and-forth into one reply.
