About One Rec
An independent screen recorder, built to be quick to record with, quick to edit and free to start.
“Screen recording shouldn’t cost $15/month. It shouldn’t upload your work to someone else’s cloud. And it definitely shouldn’t look like it was built in 2010.”

What we believe
Fewer steps to a good video
Most screen recordings need the same fixes: zooms, a steadier cursor, captions, a few cuts. One Rec does the first pass so you only adjust.
Local by default
Recordings stay on your computer until you choose to share them. Captions, the privacy scan and noise removal run on your machine.
Details that show
Small things decide whether a demo looks finished: the shortcut on screen, the masked API key, the camera that moves out of the way.
Free to start, everywhere
Record, edit and export for free on macOS, Windows and Linux. Pay only when you want higher resolution, no logo or more sharing.
