Mac screen recorder with simple launch pricing
Direct answer: OurScreen starts with a 15-day trial, then continues at $25/year or the limited $59 Founder Lifetime offer for the local Mac recorder/editor.
Many creators are tired of adding another expensive monthly tool. OurScreen keeps the launch decision simple: test it first, then keep the local workflow with a low yearly plan or a limited founder pay-once option.
What the launch model means
- Free trial: 15 days to test recording, camera, audio, Explain tools, editing, and export.
- Launch plan: $25/year for the full local Mac studio.
- Founder Lifetime: $59 one-time for the core Mac app while the founder offer is available.
- Education and creators: same simple entry price while we build trust and real examples.
- Future pricing: the public price may increase as OurScreen matures.
Why simple pricing fits local-first
If the app records and edits locally, the buying decision should stay simple. Optional cloud, AI, team, or mobile add-ons can be separate later, but the core local recorder starts with clear launch choices.
What you get in the core Mac app
- Screen, camera, microphone, and system-audio recording.
- Auto zoom, click highlights, manual zooms, camera scenes, and visual polish.
- Explain tools for drawing, lightweight board moments, and clearer teaching.
- Caption styling, SRT import, text overlays, logo placement, and export controls.
- Local projects and exported files that stay under your control.
