IndexedDB, not a server
Recordings save to your device. Sharing is opt-in.
An open-source broadcast tool is free but takes thirty minutes of YouTube tutorials to configure. The built-in Mac recorder won't capture system audio without a kernel extension. Morph runs in your browser tab using the same screen-share API every video conferencing app uses — display, camera picture-in-picture, microphone, system audio — with chapters, annotations, and trim, all local to your device. Free for everything that runs on your device; AI is paid in credits.
Toggle camera picture-in-picture and microphone before you start. System audio merges in via Web Audio on Chrome and Edge. The browser does the heavy lifting; Framecast just composes the layers cleanly.
One keypress drops a chapter. Arrows, boxes, highlights, freehand — all overlay the captured frame and persist with the file.

Trim head and tail, export, attach. Nothing leaves without your hand on the wheel.
The one-time-fee Mac recorder is beautiful but can't run on Windows or Linux and doesn't ship with chapters or annotation. The open-source broadcast tool is the heavyweight, but its onboarding is a thirty-minute YouTube tutorial about scenes, sources, and audio buses. Morph runs in your browser tab using the same screen-share API every video conferencing tool uses — you already trust it on every video call. Capture quality matches what those apps capture today; we just keep the file on your machine.
The cloud recorders' transcription, viewer-engagement analytics, and shared workspace flow are mature. If your team's marketing function lives inside a recorder's analytics, that's the right tool today. Framecast is the recording surface — capture, mark up, ship. Team workspaces and engagement analytics are on the Morph B2B roadmap, not the consumer plan.
No. Framecast runs in any modern browser. The screen-share API is browser-native; Morph just composes the layers.
Yes on Chrome and Edge — the browser screen-share dialog includes a system-audio toggle, and Framecast merges it with the microphone via Web Audio. Safari does not yet expose system audio to web apps. That is a browser limit, not a Framecast limit.
Into IndexedDB on the same machine you recorded from. They never upload. Export produces a file on your disk. Sharing is opt-in.
No. There is a long-recording safety cap at four hours or eight gigabytes — chosen because that is when most browsers exhaust IndexedDB quota.
Chapter markers drop with a single keypress. Annotations include arrows, boxes, highlights, and freehand — they overlay the captured frame. After recording, trim the head and tail before export.
