Recast v0.4.3

Recast is an offline-first screen recorder and editor. Record, edit
(zoom, cursor smoothing, captions, annotations), and export entirely on
your machine. Nothing is uploaded unless you choose to share it.

Platform status: Windows is stable. macOS (Apple Silicon &
Intel) and Linux are in beta.

Downloads

Platform	Asset
Windows (x64)	recast_0.4.3_x64-setup.exe
macOS Apple Silicon — beta	recast_0.4.3_aarch64.dmg
macOS Intel — beta	recast_0.4.3_x64.dmg
Linux (AppImage) — beta	recast_0.4.3_amd64.AppImage
Linux (Debian / Ubuntu) — beta	recast_0.4.3_amd64.deb

Permissions

Recast asks for each of these at first launch. Grant only the ones
you record from:

• Screen Recording — required to capture your screen.
• Microphone — required if you record voiceover.
• Camera — required if you record from a webcam.

macOS surfaces these in System Settings → Privacy & Security; Linux
and Windows behave per distro / shell and appear in the runtime
permission dialogs.

Installation

Windows

1. Download recast_0.4.3_x64-setup.exe above.
2. Run the installer.
3. WebView2 Runtime is bundled — no extra setup needed.
4. First launch prompts for Screen Recording permission.

macOS — beta

Homebrew picks the right build for your chip and skips Gatekeeper:

brew install --cask kanakkholwal/recast/recast

Manual install: download the DMG, drag Recast to Applications, then
strip the quarantine attribute once (the build is unsigned):

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Recast.app

First launch prompts for Screen Recording, Microphone, and Camera.

Linux — beta

AppImage:

chmod +x recast_0.4.3_amd64.AppImage && ./recast_0.4.3_amd64.AppImage

sudo dpkg -i recast_0.4.3_amd64.deb && sudo apt -f install

PipeWire 0.3+ is recommended for system audio capture.
