Frequently
asked questions
Can't find the answer you're looking for? Reach out to our support team.
Is ScreenKite really free?
Yes. ScreenKite is completely free to use. We're focused on building great features first, and we'd rather earn your trust before thinking about pricing.
How is ScreenKite faster than Screen Studio?
ScreenKite is built natively for macOS and uses your Mac's hardware directly. This means recording starts instantly and exports finish up to 3x faster.
What Mac do I need?
ScreenKite works on macOS 14.0 and later on both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs. On-device WhisperKit transcription requires Apple Silicon; Intel Macs can use ElevenLabs cloud transcription for word-level captions and transcript-based editing.
Can I edit my recordings?
Yes. ScreenKite has a built-in editor where you can trim, cut, add zoom effects, change backgrounds, and more — all without leaving the app.
Is my data private?
Yes. Recordings and editing stay local on your Mac unless you choose to share them. Optional cloud transcription and AI providers receive only the media or text needed for the feature you start.
