Screen recorder for Mac · Beta
Hit record. Keep working.
HushTuck is a Mac screen recorder that captures one app or window in the background. It mutes that app on your speakers and keeps its audio in the recording, so you can keep working.
One-time purchase. $24.99 at launch. 7-day refund, no questions asked. macOS 15 or later on Apple silicon.
How it works
Record One App, Not Your Whole Screen
HushTuck lives in your menu bar. Pick what to record, and it gets on with the job quietly while you use your Mac for everything else.
No. 02
Hit Record and Keep Working
The recorded app goes quiet on your speakers while its audio goes into the file. Work in other windows, take a call or play music while the recording carries on.
No. 03
Pause and Pick Up Again
Pause anytime. Close the lid and your recording pauses, then picks up in the same file when you're back. Batch recordings can also pause when you unplug.
Features
Quiet, Careful, and Out of Your Way
Mute While Recording
The app you record is silent on your Mac and at full volume in the file.
Works Behind Other Windows
Record an app, and other apps' windows and notifications stay out of the video.
Detect Video Area
Point HushTuck at a playing video and it frames the picture for you.
A Recording Queue for Safari
Queue your own sessions or lecture list in Safari and record them one after another, with a sound check on every file.
Saves as It Records
HushTuck saves your recording as it goes, to help protect it if recording is interrupted.
Sensible File Sizes
Three quality settings, from about 1 GB per hour of video.

Questions
Good to Know

How Do Refunds Work?
Email support@hushtuck.com within 7 days of buying and we'll refund you in full, no questions asked. Your license stops working once the refund goes through.
How Do I Get Help?
Email support@hushtuck.com. HushTuck is made by a small team, so there's no live chat or phone support, but we reply within 2 business days, usually sooner. It helps to include your macOS version and what you were recording. If something went wrong, you can attach HushTuck's log from Library/Logs/HushTuck.
What Do I Need?
A Mac with Apple silicon running macOS 15 or later. HushTuck asks for Screen and System Audio Recording permission the first time you use it. The recording queue works with Safari.
How Do I Move HushTuck to a New Mac?
Your license works on up to 3 Macs at a time. On the Mac you're leaving, open HushTuck from the menu bar, choose License…, then click Deactivate This Mac… to free up its spot. If you no longer have that Mac, open License… on any Mac where HushTuck is activated and click Manage Your Macs…, or go to hushtuck.com/manage and sign in with your purchase email. Remove the old Mac there, then enter your key on the new Mac.
Does HushTuck Upload My Recordings?
No. Recordings stay on your Mac, in the folder you choose. HushTuck doesn't send them anywhere.
Where Do Recordings Go, and How Big Are They?
By default, recordings save to Movies/HushTuck as standard .mov files that play in QuickTime and most video apps. An hour takes about 1 to 2 GB, depending on the quality setting.
Can I Watch Something Else in My Browser While HushTuck Records?
Yes, in a different browser. HushTuck records and mutes sound by app, and a browser plays the sound of all its tabs and windows together. So if you record a meeting in Safari, sound from every other Safari tab is recorded too, and muted if Mute While Recording is on. To watch or listen to something else while you record, use another browser, such as Chrome or Firefox.
Can HushTuck Record Anything on My Screen?
It records what macOS lets apps capture. Video with copy protection records as a black picture, and HushTuck doesn't try to get around that. Use HushTuck for content you have the right to keep.
