Privacy
The recording stays on your device and is never uploaded. Nothing is stored beyond this browser session, no account or signup is required, and no analytics or tracking service ever sees the recording.
What the clip looks like after you press Stop
When you press Stop, the tool gathers the recorded pieces into a single file right in the page and hands you a download link plus a playback preview, so the clip never leaves your device and no server sees it. The file comes out as WebM, which every current version of Chrome, Edge, and Firefox plays back natively; the tool picks the best codec your browser reports it can write, falling back from a higher-quality video setting to a lighter one, and down to an audio-only file when you chose Microphone only. Because the recording is held in your browser's memory while it runs, very long captures are the practical limit - once a clip grows past roughly a gigabyte your browser can run out of room, so a multi-hour screen recording is better split into a few shorter takes using Pause and Resume. The one trade-off worth knowing: the output is WebM, not MP4, so if a tool or editor you are sending the clip to only accepts MP4 or H.264, run the finished WebM through a converter afterward. For a quick webcam note, voice memo, or short screen capture that you want to keep private, pressing Stop gives you a ready-to-share file in one step with nothing to install.
