TinyRecorder 1.8.12

Fork of QuickRecorder by lihaoyun6, with macOS 27 compatibility fixes.

What's new in 1.8.12

  • Settings → General fits on one screen. Check for Updates… now sits in the Update group next to the version number, the permission repair is a single row (details in the ⓘ), and the window is a little taller, so nothing needs scrolling.
  • AppleScript fixes:
    • A record command sent during the countdown is refused instead of starting a second recording.
    • stop recording / discard recording during the countdown now cancel the recording. Before, they reported "Not recording." and the recording started anyway.
    • record window titled … no longer silently does nothing when the screen under the pointer can't be determined.
  • Automation docs: every AppleScript command and configure option is now documented in the README and on the new Automation page.
  • Anonymous usage statistics (added in 1.8.11) now report the microphone setting that a recording actually used.

Changes vs upstream v1.6.9

  • Fixed: menu bar controls (stop / pause / camera) not responding on macOS 27 (upstream issue lihaoyun6#295)
  • Changed: menu bar icon is now shown by default (new-user friendly; can be disabled in Settings)

Install

Already installed? Use Check for Updates… inside the app — no download, no Gatekeeper warning, permissions are kept.

One-line install (no Gatekeeper warning) — paste into Terminal:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/33to9/TinyRecorder/main/install.sh | bash

Homebrew: brew install --cask 33to9/tap/tinyrecorder

DMG: download TinyRecorder_v1.8.12.dmg, drag TinyRecorder into Applications. The app is not notarized by Apple, so the first launch is blocked once:

  • macOS 15 and later: double-click (a warning appears), then System Settings → Privacy & Security → scroll down → Open Anyway
  • macOS 12–14: right-click the app → Open

On first launch a short setup guide walks you through the Screen Recording permission (one automatic restart), the optional microphone and the default format.
