Capture anything.
Make it beautiful.

Capture

Anything on screen, in a keystroke.

Region, window, or full display — as a still or a recording. Straight from the menubar.

Edit

Make it beautiful in seconds.

One editor for stills and video. Arrows, shapes, blur, trims — all on the same canvas.

Share

Export, or share a link instantly.

Export and the short link lands on your clipboard. Paste it anywhere — anyone can watch.

The editor

The whole studio, in one window.

Draw an arrow. Highlight a bug. Blur a secret. Trim a recording down to the ten seconds that matter. Plus crop, shapes, text, and more — all on the same beautiful canvas.

Share

Capture, polish, share —
screenshots or recordings.

Hit a hotkey and grab the shot or the take. Edit it if you want, skip the editor if you don’t. Then send it out the way you actually work.

PNG JPG PDF

Export a file.

PNG, JPG, or PDF, straight to a folder you choose — or the last one you used.

C

Copy to clipboard.

One keystroke and the image is on your clipboard, ready to paste anywhere.

Drag it anywhere.

Drag right out of the editor into Slack, Mail, a Figma file — whatever’s on screen.

bnch.sh/a8f3q2

Upload & share.

Hit upload and a bnch.sh short link lands on your clipboard.

The Bench recording HUD with timer, mic level, and stop button
Recording

Records like it's nothing.

A calm HUD shows what matters — time, level, a stop button — and disappears into the corner. Optional camera bubble, live mic meter, pause and resume mid-take.

Menubar

Always a keystroke away.

Six capture modes. Three keystrokes for the ones you use most. Never hunts for a window, never steals focus — just does the thing and steps aside.

A closer look

Powerful details, everywhere.

The bits you notice after a week. The bits that make Bench feel like a Mac app, not a web page in a frame.

00:42

Screen recordings that feel effortless.

Full screen, window, or region. Mic, system audio, camera — on or off. Pause and resume mid‑take.

4

Your hotkeys, your rules.

System-wide shortcuts with collision detection. Reclaim the defaults or pick your own.

GIF

Looping GIFs in seconds.

Trim with two handles, preview as it loops, export at the size you need.

0:12

The flow starts on the dashboard

0:18

then um, like, you know, hits settings.

Delete · 4 words

Edit your video like a doc.

Cut the “ums” by deleting the words. The recording follows the transcript.

2.4×

Follow the cursor, with auto-zoom.

A soft halo under the pointer, a gentle zoom when it clicks. Viewers never lose the thread.

Backgrounds & annotations.

Twenty-two backdrops. Arrows, shapes, text, blur — nine tools, one rail.

Picture-in-picture you.

A draggable, resizable squircle for your camera. Reposition or hide it later.

bnch.sh/rec-8f3q2a Copied to clipboard

Share in one click.

Export, and a short link lands on your clipboard. Paste anywhere.

Bench Cloud

Share a file, or a link.

Export and a bnch.sh link lands on your clipboard. Paste it into Slack, an email, a ticket, a doc — anyone watches on any device, no app to install. And if you change your mind, one click and the link is gone.
