-
Set how fast the teleprompter scrolls while you read, so it keeps up with the way you talk. The Look panel keeps a background's colours right under its swatches.
New
- Teleprompter speed: slower or faster, right beside play.
Improved
- The teleprompter shows how it works when you open it, and writing a script is smoother.
- A background's colours and blur sit right under its swatches in the Look panel.
-
The editor's panels read top to bottom now: clear headings, switches and colours lined up on the right, and caption looks you can pick by eye. The record bar shows how long you've been recording.
New
- Caption looks are drawn as they appear on screen, with the one you're using marked.
- The record bar shows how long you've been recording.
- Regenerate captions from the Style tab when a look needs word timings.
Improved
- Editor panels lay out cleanly on every macOS from 15 to the latest.
- Export settings line up in one column.
- The camera menu always shows which camera you're using.
-
Playback and zooms in the editor run smoother, most of all on Intel Macs, and the record bar stays quick to respond while your camera turns on.
Improved
- Smoother playback and zooms in the editor.
- The record bar stays responsive while your camera starts up.
-
Press Esc while you record and it goes to the app you're showing, so it closes menus and pop-ups just as it always does there. To stop recording from the keyboard, press Esc twice, or ⌘⇧2.
Improved
- Esc goes to the app you're recording. Press it twice to stop.
-
Pick a window size in Settings, and every window you record is set to it and centred before the countdown, so your clips all come out the same shape. It goes back when you stop.
New
- Window sizes of 1280 × 720, 1600 × 900 and 1920 × 1080. On a Retina display, 1920 × 1080 records in 4K.
- Record just the page: hide a browser's tabs, toolbar and bookmarks, and the page itself gets your chosen size.
- Press Esc during the countdown to cancel a recording before it starts.
- Activate your license right from the Export sheet.
- AI agents can choose a window size when they record.
Improved
- Cleaner window recordings with crisp edges, including the menus and pop-ups your app opens, and nothing from any other app: no notifications, no floating panels, even if one sits on top.
- Right-click zooms leave room for the menu that opens.
- Lighter, cooler editing: the editor rests while nothing is playing.
- Recent recordings are listed in the order you last opened them.
- Square and portrait GIFs export as quickly as landscape ones.
Also
- Exports open in your Exports folder until you choose another, and end right on your last frame.
- The record bar holds its size as you switch the camera and audio, and its menu opens on the first click.
- The editor opens at the size you left it, and Settings fits smaller screens.
- The editor shows up in screenshots and screen shares, so you can demo it on a call.
-
Claude Code, Claude Desktop and other apps that support MCP can now use ShipYourClips: record your screen, export the clip and read what was said. Turn it on in Settings, and each app asks you once before it can do anything. How to set it up.
New
- Agents can record the display, an area or one app's window, export MP4 or GIF exactly as the editor would, and read transcripts. You always see the countdown and the record bar.
- Area recording works on any screen, not just the main one.
Improved
- Your camera now records right to the end of every take.
- Your license key is kept in your Mac's Keychain.
Also
- Exports appear only once they're finished, and play in more places.
-
Improved
- If a recording can't start, ShipYourClips now tells you why, so you can fix it and go again.
-
Improved
- Your camera switches off as soon as you leave the record bar. Open the editor, open your license, or close the bar, and the light goes out.
- Animated GIFs export at any length and speed, keep your clip's exact timing, and the export sheet shows the size you'll get.
Also
- The editor keeps its size and place when you open another recording, and switching the camera on and off is more reliable on older Macs.
-
Improved
- Captions now arrange themselves around your camera bubble: beside it on landscape videos, above it on vertical ones.
- The badge on free exports moves to whichever corner your camera isn't in.
-
ShipYourClips now runs on macOS 15 Sequoia as well as macOS 26, on Apple silicon and Intel Macs. Removing filler words needs macOS 26, which includes the speech model it uses; everything else works the same on macOS 15.
Also
- Faster, lighter editing on older Macs, and export size estimates that account for the silence you cut.
-
The first public release. Record your screen and ShipYourClips hands back a clip that is already zoomed on every click, captioned in your own voice, and framed on a background, ready to post.
In the box
- Records a screen, a window, or an area you drag out, from a bar that stays out of the shot.
- Every click is already zoomed by the time the editor opens, and every zoom stays yours to move, resize, retarget, or delete.
- One click each: captions transcribed on your Mac, the ums and uhs cut out of your speech, silence dropped between sentences, audio evened out.
- The rest of the polish: a background with padding and a shadow, your webcam in the frame, a restyled cursor, keystrokes on screen, click sounds, music, and a teleprompter that never appears in the recording.
- Exports MP4 or GIF up to 4K in 16:9, 4:5, 1:1, or 9:16, and saves a project you can reopen and re-edit later.
- Everything happens on your Mac. Nothing is uploaded, it works on a plane, and the app only reaches the network to check your license and look for updates.
- Signed and notarized by Apple, and it updates itself from here on.
Why a subscription
- Free to use for as long as you like. Exports carry a small watermark, and everything else works.
- $39 a year removes it. A recorder has to keep up with every macOS release, and the subscription is what pays for that work. Your rate is locked for as long as you stay subscribed: the price rises as more people join, never for you.
