Free apps

Paid apps, rebuilt free.

Lots of the apps people pay for every month do things a free app could do too. So I'm building those free apps. Each one is made from scratch: my own code, my own design, its own name. They all live on this page.

The first one

A screen recorder for Mac.

I record my videos with a recorder I built myself, Recording Studio. Recorded is the free version anyone can download, signed and notarized by Apple.

Recorded

A free screen recorder for Mac.

The public version of Recording Studio, the recorder I make my videos with.

  • Screen, mic and system audio in one file
  • Face cam bubble
  • Auto-zoom
  • A teleprompter that follows your voice
  • Finished video ready seconds after you stop (1080p, 4K optional)
Download for Mac Free · macOS 15+ · 3.3 MB · v0.1.0

No account, no tracking. Recordings stay on your Mac. The teleprompter's follow-your-voice mode uses Apple's speech recognition.

How to install

Open the file, drag Recorded to Applications, then allow Screen Recording when macOS asks.

How they work

Three rules for every app.

1

Free

Free to use. That's the whole idea.

2

Made from scratch

Every app is new, with its own code, design and name. Never a copy of another app's code or look.

3

Easy to get

Browser tools run right here on this site. Mac apps come as signed downloads first, then the App Store.

What's next

More are on the way.

Each new app gets its own card on this page.
