Free studio. Paid superpowers.
Videorc is an open-source desktop studio. macOS is in beta; Windows 11 x64 is a separately gated alpha. Premium pays for server-backed tools only where the selected platform supports them.
Why there's a Premium at all
We could have taken funding and made the recorder the product. Instead the recorder is free, and the subscription covers exactly the things that cost us money to run.
The studio is free, forever
The supported local recorder, scenes, camera, mic, and library have no watermarks or trials. macOS Beta and Windows Alpha publish separate capability promises instead of pretending every device is identical.
The servers are not
Where supported, multistreaming relays to five platforms and cloud AI writes the publish pack. Both use real infrastructure; Windows Alpha users see availability before checkout.
Premium ships the roadmap
Every subscription funds the next release of the free studio — the capture engine, native preview, and editor improvements land for everyone, not behind the paywall.
What your subscription buys
One plan. Everything in the free studio, plus the features with a server bill attached.
- Multistream on multiple platforms — YouTube, Twitch, X, custom RTMP
- Live captions on your stream and recording, with a synced .srt. (early alpha)
- AI publish pipeline: transcript, title & description, summary, chapters, highlights
- One-click publish pack + YouTube description composer
- Lab (experimental): smart-zoom, noise cleanup, silence removal
$32.50/month
billed yearly at $32.50/month (2 months free) — or $39 monthly
Why we're open source
A recorder sees your screen, your camera, and your mic. That's too much access to ask anyone to take on faith.
Your recordings stay yours
Videorc is local-first: recordings live on your computer, not on our servers. An account is only needed for the features that genuinely require one.
Nothing to hide
The app that captures your screen, camera, and mic is public code. Read it, audit it, build it yourself — trust shouldn't require faith.
Built in the open
Bugs, feature requests, and pull requests all happen on GitHub. If you'd rather back the project without subscribing, sponsorships keep the lights on too.
