Screen recorder · Free plan
Free screen recorder, editor included.
Record for as long as you like on macOS, Windows or Linux. Auto-zoom, local captions and the timeline editor are all on the free plan.
Why One Rec
One Rec is a free screen recorder with no time limit and no cap on how many recordings you keep. The editor comes with it.
The free plan covers the whole job on your computer. Record a display or a window with your camera and mic, let auto-zoom place zooms on your clicks and typing, generate captions with Whisper on your machine, trim, then export. Free exports go up to 720p and carry a small One Rec logo.
You don't need an account for any of that. Sign in when you want share links (3 videos with 7-day links on Free), cloud AI (5 generations a day) or live streaming to one destination at 720p30. Creator, at $9/month, removes the logo and raises export to 1080p.
What you get
Recording, editing and sharing in one app.

No time limit
Record for two minutes or two hours. Free has no cap on length or on the number of recordings, and each file stays on your computer until you share it.
- 02
Auto-zoom on your clicks
Zooms are placed where you click and type. Pick Subtle, Balanced or Energetic, then move, resize or delete any zoom on the timeline.
- 03
Captions made on your computer
Whisper runs locally in 17 languages plus auto-detect, with word-level timing. The model downloads once, then works offline.

Timeline editor included
Trim, add zooms, annotations and masks, and let Smart Trim suggest cuts for pauses, filler words and retakes. No second app to export into.
