Show HN: Free screen recording Mac app that uploads while you record
It's meant to be lite and fast. Hope you like it
- jacquesc 13y agoplease add option to output as animated gif. I will pay money
- navidsafa 13y agowe're going to add that this coming week.
- flexd 13y agoIs it possible to upload via sftp for example? Or is it only usable with your hosted service?
- navidsafa 13y agothat's a cool idea - maybe we'll add that for the pro version - great suggestion. i know i'd prefer that myself.
- flexd 13y agoThere are a few free alternatives that has this feature, for example MonoSnap and Skitch (I think). I use MonoSnap myself.
- navidsafa 13y agoMonoSnap/Skitch - true. I use that feature from skitch all the time.

- interpol_p 13y agoThere is a great little app for Mac and Windows called LICEcap (http://www.cockos.com/licecap/ http://www.cockos.com/licecap/) that does exactly this. It's free and works really well. I use it all the time. That said, this project looks awesome for when you need more fidelity than a gif and instant sharing.
- codez 13y agoQuickcast which is free from app store with no account needed will do this for you.
- niklasber 13y agoKinda bothers me that the demo video wasn't recorded using the software.
- LukeHoersten 13y agoGreat focus on doing one thing and doing it well. Excellent work!
- navidsafa 13y agoThank you :)
- zbruhnke 13y agonice! I usually use Quicktime for this, but even some of my most technical friends don't realize its possible, I think this is a great idea! Best of luck!
- pastylegs 13y agoThis is very useful and nicely put together. Well done! An easy iframe embed link on the playback page would be nice (pro feature?). Also, being able to target a window using the spacebar (like the native screenshot app) would be useful, as would full screen recording (at the moment if I go to the top left of the screen with the intention of dragging the selection box over the whole screen, the menubar gets in the way). Finally, I noticed that the progress percentage goes backwards sometimes (41% ... 42% ... 43% ... 41% ... 44%)
- navidsafa 13y agoThanks pastylegs. Love this feedback. %: yes, we gotta fix that menu bar overlap: that too - thanks for pointing it out. iframe embed: a few people asked for that. we'll definitely consider it.
- enewc 13y agoWhy would anyone even want this? The most important part of recording is the ability to have multiple takes, which is hindered if every take is to be uploaded at the same time. All other use cases can be covered by streaming your desktop.
- panabee 13y agohow do you stream your desktop?
- enewc 13y agoSkype screen sharing works fine. Apparently Quicktime does too.
- flexd 13y agoUse OBS http://obsproject.com/ http://obsproject.com/ (Open Broadcaster Software) and stream to a website like justin.tv/twitch.tv. It's also possible to save to a file, so it's easy to do screen capture for anything else too.
- hayksaakian 13y agoDid you come at this from the perspective of software like OBS and xSplit? Or from an alternative point of view?
- navidsafa 13y agomy point view: i want to show somebody something that has a sequence and don't want it to take a long time. that was really it.
- c1sc0 13y agoLive uploading is cool. Are you sending the frames as they are being recorded & recompress on the server or do you just reserve the url upfront & upload once everything's done?
- evansolomon 13y agoIs there any way to delete a video once I upload it?
- navidsafa 13y agoWe're adding that next week
- codez 13y agoUSP over Quickcast?
- Shalle 13y agoKnow a few of these features already been mentioned, but after trying it out... The upload proximitor gets stuck, so it's not possible to start another recording unless you restart recordit. The player doesn't scale it to fit on screen, unless you use full screen. The possibility to delete what you have uploaded would be great. And possibly password protect it.
- navidsafa 13y agoGreat feedback. Thank you.
- Rizzo95 13y agoCan you enable for iOS?
