HappyRec is a free, native macOS screen recorder with a real-time voice changer and face-tracked avatars. No accounts, no cloud, no tracking.
Most screen recorders make you choose: pay for the good version, or put up with watermarks and time limits on the free one. HappyRec skips that trade entirely — it’s free, full stop, built natively for Mac.
Four things it does well: record your full screen, a single window, or a hand-dragged area, up to 4K at 60fps. Change your voice live while you talk, with presets that shift pitch and vocal tone together instead of just making you sound like a chipmunk. Show an animated avatar instead of your actual face, driven by real expressions but never recording the camera feed itself. And none of it touches a server — no account, no upload, no analytics, just a file saved straight to your Mac.
It’s the kind of app you’d expect to cost something. It doesn’t. Download it from the Mac App Store and see for yourself.
