TinyRecorder 1.8.12
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 recordingduring 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
configureoption 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.
