macOS does not make app sound easy to capture. Autocuts records system audio and your microphone together, with no extra driver.
How to capture app sound and your voice
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.
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. People route sound through third-party audio drivers to work around this. Autocuts uses the modern macOS capture engine instead, so system audio is a menu item, not a setup project. See the full Autocuts vs QuickTime comparison.
Can I record my voice only?
Yes. Leave System Audio off and pick a microphone. You can also do the reverse and capture app sound with no voice track. After the take, transcription runs on the voice track on your Mac.
Sound included, driver excluded.
