System audio + microphone
A screen recorder with audio built in.
Record your Mac screen with the sound your apps play and your own narration in one take. System audio is a click in the recorder pill, not a virtual driver install.
No audio driverTwo audio tracksOn-device captions
Sound included
App sound and your voice, captured together
macOS does not make app sound easy to capture. Autocuts records system audio, also called internal audio, and your microphone at the same time, so a demo keeps its interface sounds, alerts, and playback while you narrate over them.
Each source is a switch in the recorder pill. There is no output-device change to undo after the take and no third-party audio driver to install, update, or debug.
- System audio from any app, video, or call
- Any connected microphone from the device menu
- Voice-only or app-sound-only takes when you want them
- Captions generated from the voice track, on device
How to record your screen with audio
Turn on System Audio
Click System Audio in the pill. Autocuts captures the sound your Mac plays, such as an app, a video, or a call.
Record as usual
Choose your screen, window, or area and start. Both audio tracks are part of the recording.
Can Autocuts record system audio and my microphone at the same time?
Yes. In the recorder pill, pick a microphone from the device menu and click System Audio. Both tracks record together with the screen, with no virtual audio driver and no change to your output device. The step-by-step version lives in the system audio help article.
Why can QuickTime not record system audio?
The built-in macOS recorder captures the screen and a microphone, but it has no system-audio source, so people route sound through third-party audio drivers. Autocuts uses the modern macOS capture engine instead, which makes system audio a menu item rather than a setup project. See the full Autocuts vs QuickTime comparison.
Can I record my voice only, or app sound only?
Yes. Leave System Audio off and pick a microphone to capture only your voice, or turn System Audio on with no microphone to capture only app sound. After the take, transcription runs on the voice track on your Mac and produces captions.
Sound included, driver excluded.
