Best for recording a Mac screen at 60 fps
Screenflick is a Mac screen recorder with system audio, webcam, key and click display and time-lapse, for a $35 one-time license. There is no trial or free tier on the pages, editing stops at trimming and cropping, and it is Mac only.
Who Screenflick is for
- Fits if you record tutorials or gameplay on a Mac and want to pay once
- Works for time-lapse captures, as the app can record at a very low frame rate
Who Screenflick is not for
- Skip it if you use Windows or Linux, because it runs on Mac only
- Tight if you want to try before paying: no trial or free tier is stated
- Too light for editing beyond trimming, cropping and brightness
- Watch out: a license covers version 3, and a future major version may need an upgrade
Why Screenflick gets a 2.0
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- AValue for money$35 once for version 3, less than three months of a typical $14 subscription and under the one-time middle of $37.
- FFree plan and trialNo free tier or trial on the pages read, though a Download button is offered.
- CFeaturesRecords to 5K at 60 fps with system audio, mic, webcam and exports to HEVC, H.264, ProRes or GIF. Editing is limited to trim, crop and brightness, so it is a recorder, not an editor.
- BEase of useNo store rating on record. It is an app you install and start recording with, with nothing to connect.
- DPlatforms and integrationsMac only, and version 3.3 needs macOS 11 or later. Automator and Shortcuts are the only hooks listed.

Keep Screenflick, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Screenflick you would be making a video editor. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 92 of the 133 other screen recording and video tools grade higher. It costs $35, paid once.
What you could not
- A video editor.
- Recording the screen with its sound, and somewhere to keep the video.
- A real app for macOS. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
What this rests on. Screenflick’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
