A Mac teaching studio
for lessons that need clarity.

A local-first screen recorder for teachers who need screen, camera, microphone, system audio, Screen Draw, captions, and polished exports without moving between five tools.

Direct answer: OurScreen is a screen recorder for teachers on Mac. It is built for lessons, tutoring videos, course modules, software walkthroughs, and classroom explanations where privacy, clarity, captions, and fast export matter.

What makes a good screen recorder for teachers?

A teacher does not only need a record button. A useful teaching recorder should capture the lesson, keep the teacher visible when needed, make the voice clear, let the teacher draw or point during the explanation, generate captions, and export a clean file students can watch without confusion.

OurScreen focuses on that complete teaching workflow. Instead of recording in one app, drawing in another, editing somewhere else, and adding captions later, teachers can keep the main lesson production inside one Mac app.

For teachers and tutors

Create lecture recordings, walkthroughs, assignment explanations, feedback videos, and online tutoring clips without stitching tools together.

Local-first privacy

Lessons stay on the teacher's Mac. This is important for classrooms, student work, private feedback, and internal training.

Explain while recording

Use the lightweight Explain tools to draw, highlight, point, and write while students see the exact part of the screen you mean.

Camera and voice together

Keep the teacher present with camera bubble styles, microphone audio, and system audio in the same recording.

Captions and exports

Add captions, titles, simple text, and export formats for YouTube, LMS platforms, class groups, and course libraries.

Simple launch pricing

Start with a 15-day trial, then continue with $25/year or the limited $59 Founder Lifetime offer while it is available.

Teaching workflows OurScreen is built for

For schools and training teams

OurScreen is useful for small schools, tutoring centers, bootcamps, nonprofits, and workplace training teams that need clear video without a complicated production setup.

Why OurScreen is different from a normal recorder

Quick screen recorders are good for quick capture. Full video editors are powerful but slow for daily teaching. OurScreen sits in the middle: it records the lesson, applies teaching-focused polish like Auto Zoom and Camera styles, supports Screen Draw, and keeps editing simple enough for frequent use.

Why teachers lose time with normal recording tools

A typical lesson workflow can require one tool for screen capture, another for camera, another for audio, another for drawing, and another for editing. That is too much friction when the real goal is to explain a concept clearly. OurScreen reduces that friction by keeping the teaching workflow inside one Mac app.

Local files for sensitive learning work

Teachers often record student feedback, internal class material, private drafts, or training content that should not be uploaded automatically. OurScreen keeps the original recording local, so the teacher controls when and where a finished video is shared.
