CLUSTER SCREEN-CAPTURES-MACOS-2 · 17 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-09-21

macOS screen recorders and editors

The cluster consists of macOS screen recording applications that capture displays, windows, or areas, often with editing, annotation, and export to formats like MP4 or GIF. Their dated history is too thin to read a shape from — it predates the index or its members are undated. Traction leaders by activity signal are glide with 123 stars, followed by isocast with 7 stars and luying with 3 stars.

Entry timeline

ENTRY TIMELINE

AUG 2026OCT 2026

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
