What One Rec is
One Rec is a desktop app for recording, editing, and exporting screen videos on Linux, macOS, and Windows. It captures a screen, window, or selected region, then provides a multi-track timeline for editing. Editing options include cinematic auto-zoom, cursor effects, and backgrounds. Captions use local OpenAI Whisper speech recognition, with support for 17+ languages. Recordings, audio, webcam footage, and edits are stored locally unless you choose to share a video.

The app also lists streaming to Twitch, YouTube Live, Restream, and custom RTMP destinations, plus syncing through Dropbox, Google Drive, and iCloud. Social sharing options include YouTube, X, and LinkedIn. The Free plan is free, billed Forever, and includes unlimited recordings, 720p export, three shared videos, 2 GB/month sharing bandwidth, and a One Rec logo on exports.
