Screen recorder and live streaming for Mac and Windows Your phone is
the webcam.

Record your screen and face, go live on YouTube or Twitch, and share a link for every take. It zooms where you click.

Run it all from one bar

While you record or stream, one small bar floats over your work. Everything you need mid-take is on it, so you never go back to the app window.

Timer and LIVE
How long you've been going, and whether you're on air.
Camera and mic
Turn the camera off, or mute, without stopping.
Bubble size and full screen
Grow the camera, shrink it, or give it the whole screen.
Sound levels
A live meter for your mic and your desktop sound, each with its own volume, up to 200%.
Pause and stop
Stop saves the take to your library, or ends the stream.
Restart, cancel or hide
Start over, throw it away, or tuck the bar into a tab with ⌘ or Ctrl, Shift and H.

Your phone is the camera

No webcam? Use your phone as one: click Add phone camera, scan the code and put your phone down. Its camera becomes the bubble on your recording or your live stream. Nothing to install on the phone, and no cable.

Record with it, or go live with it
A round bubble, or a rectangle
If the phone locks, the camera picks up again when you unlock it

720p on Free, Full HD on Pro.

Then anyone watches, on any screen.

It zooms where you click

On a Mac it zooms in where you click, on Windows where your cursor settles, and it follows you from there. Automatic on every plan, and on Pro you can fine-tune each zoom. More on recording

Upload a take and copy its link. Anyone can watch it on any screen, with no sign-in, and it's loud enough for a phone's own speaker. Share links come with Pro.

Every take, handled

Cursor zoom

Zooms where you click on a Mac, and where your cursor settles on Windows. Every zoom stays editable.

Zoom depth

Choose how close each zoom goes.

Loud enough for phones

Every shared file is levelled, so a phone's own speaker carries it.

Go live

YouTube, Twitch, Facebook, LinkedIn or any RTMP server.

Mac and Windows

Apple silicon, Intel, and Windows 10 or later.

Trim and cut

Take out the stumbles. The original recording stays untouched, so every edit can be undone.

Links that just play

No sign-in to watch, on any screen.

Every track, separately

Download screen, camera and audio as separate files for your own editor.

Flow, and a new star

In 1572 Tycho Brahe saw a star appear in Cassiopeia where none had been, and wrote a book about it: De nova stella, on the new star. Floonova is that, with flow: your work, moving from your screen to everyone who needs to see it.

The footage is NASA's Chandra watching what is left of Tycho's star, still expanding, from 2000 to 2015.
