People use it when they need to show the screen

A lesson, a game, a bug. Same app, different settings.

Showing how something works

Talk over the video if you want, and turn the front camera on so your face sits in a corner. A small button stays on screen, so you can stop without leaving the app you’re demonstrating.

Recording a game

60 or 120 fps if the phone can keep up, plus the game’s own sound. You can silence other notifications so a message doesn’t pop up in the middle of a match.

Showing a bug

A video of the steps is usually enough. If it’s a short glitch, a GIF is easier to send. Screenshots are there when you only need a few frames.

The settings you’ll actually touch

Changes apply to the next recording, not the one already going. Higher resolution, sound, the front camera, and cloud backup are Pro. The split is on the pricing page.

Video

540, 720, 1080, or the phone’s original size. 24, 30, 60, or 120 frames per second. Bitrate low, medium, high, or a number you set. H.264 or H.265.

Sound

Off, the app’s own audio, the microphone, an external mic, or the app and the mic together. Silent clip, voiceover, or both.

Front camera

Optional. Any corner, 10 to 25% of the screen height. You can pull it in from the edges and fade it if it’s covering something.

Screenshots and GIFs

Screenshots every 2, 5, 10, or 30 seconds, or your own interval. GIFs have a quality setting and a max length, usually 10, 15, or 30 seconds.

Where the files go

On the phone, unless you connect Drive or Dropbox. Upload on Wi-Fi only, or on mobile data too. Keep a local copy after upload, or let the phone delete it once the backup is done.

While it’s recording

A floating button lets you pause or stop from another app. There’s also a switch that quiets other notifications for the length of the recording, so they don’t land in the video.

How you use it

Install from Google Play, allow screen capture when Android asks, then hit the red button.

Questions

Does it work on iPhone?

No. Android only. It records the screen as video, takes screenshots on a timer, and makes short GIFs.

Can it record the sound in an app and my voice?

Yes. You choose: nothing, the app’s sound, the microphone, an external mic, or the app and the mic together.

Can I record a game?

Yes. Higher frame rates are in the video settings, and the floating button lets you stop without leaving the game.

Where do the files go?

On the phone in both versions. Google Drive, Dropbox, and external storage are in Pro. We don’t keep a copy.

Does it hide itself?

No. You start it, and Android asks before it can record the screen. It’s for your own phone.

How do I pay?

The app is free. Pro is a subscription on Google Play: $5 each month, or $4 a month if you pay $48 once for the year. See Pricing.

Video of the screen, screenshots, GIFs, and a place to put the files.
