Reel
Screen recording for your Mac
Reel is coming soon, and it will need a Mac running macOS 15 Sequoia or later.
Record your screen, trim what you share
Reel is a native Mac app that records your screen, and you as well if you want, then lets you trim and cut the recording and export a video to share. You record one window or one whole display, which you choose with the Mac’s own picker, and in window mode only that window appears in the video.

One window or display
You choose one window or one whole display with the Mac’s own picker, and in window mode only that window appears in the video.
-
Optional camera and sound
A round camera bubble, microphone narration and the computer’s sound are each off until you turn them on. You choose the camera, its corner and whether it is mirrored.
-
Trim, cut and export
The built-in editor opens when a recording finishes: trim the ends, cut sections out, undo and redo, preview the result and export a new MP4. The original video is never changed.
-
Nothing is uploaded
Videos and speech are never uploaded, and there is no account and no cloud library. Reel goes online only to activate a licence and check for updates, and to download Apple’s speech model if you ask for filler-word detection.
Common questions
When will Reel be released, and what will it cost?
Neither the release date nor the price is set yet. When it arrives, Reel will be sold like every Handy Tools app: One fee, lifetime access.
Can Reel find hesitation sounds?
Reel uses speech recognition that runs on your Mac to find hesitation sounds such as um, uh and ah, and lists each one. You listen and choose which to remove, nothing is removed automatically, and this needs macOS 26 or later and works in English (US, UK and Australian).
Where are recordings saved?
Recordings are saved as H.264 MP4 files on your Mac, in Movies/Reel unless you choose another folder. They can be up to 3840 × 2160 at 30 frames a second.
Are my videos or speech uploaded?
No. Videos and speech are never uploaded, there is no account and no cloud library, and Reel goes online only to activate a licence, check for updates, and to download Apple’s speech model if you ask for filler-word detection.
What is not in the first version?
The first version does not include pausing a recording, recording a region of the screen, captions, effects, or hosted sharing links.
