Record your screen
Open CaptureFlow and you'll get a compact recording toolbar. Pick what to capture, optionally add your webcam and mic, and hit record.
Choose a capture mode
| Mode | What it captures |
|---|---|
| Full screen | An entire display. Pick which one if you have several. |
| Window | A single application window. CaptureFlow detects windows and highlights the one under your cursor. |
| Region | A rectangular area you drag to select. |
Switch modes from the toolbar's mode toggle before you start.
Add a webcam bubble
Toggle the webcam on to overlay a circular camera bubble on the recording. Choose your camera in the device selector and drag the bubble anywhere on screen — it's composited into the final video, so viewers see exactly what you saw.
Add audio
Pick a microphone to narrate. System audio is captured as part of the screen recording where macOS allows it. Leave the mic off for a silent capture.
Smooth cursor
CaptureFlow tracks your real cursor and renders a clean, smoothed pointer in the recording (with proper cursor styles — pointer, hand, text, resize, etc.). The result looks steadier than the raw OS cursor, which makes demos easier to follow.
Record
- Set your mode, webcam, and mic.
- Click record (a short countdown gives you a beat to get ready).
- Use the toolbar to pause/resume or stop.
While you record, the video is already uploading in the background, so there is little to no wait when you stop — see How it works.
After you stop
On stop, the upload finalizes and CaptureFlow hands you an instant share link (copied to your clipboard). From there you can open the share page, change its title or visibility, or jump into the editor.
Heads up: recordings count against your storage quota. See Storage & limits.
Next: Share a recording.
