Install

curl -fsSL https://screenrecording.dev/install.sh | bash

Installs to /Applications, clears the quarantine flag macOS puts on downloads, links the mac-rec CLI, and launches the app.

Downloading the .dmg directly? macOS will block it. This build is unnotarized (notarizing requires a paid Apple Developer account). Open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down, click Open Anyway. On macOS 15 the old right-click → Open bypass no longer works. Or: xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Mac-Rec.app

New

  • Settings window (⌘,) — a real home for the ElevenLabs API key, with a live key test, voice picker, one-click whisper model download, and the recordings folder. No more CLI flags for setup.
  • Check for Updates… in the menu, plus a quiet once-a-day check at launch that only speaks up when there's a new version (with skip-this-version).
  • config.json is now chmod 600 — it can hold an API key.

Fixed

  • Documented the correct Gatekeeper flow for macOS 15. The previous instructions said right-click → Open, which Apple removed in Sequoia.
