One thing, done really well.

Fast and native

A real Mac app, not a web wrapper. It lives in the menu bar and starts recording in one click, or with ⌃⌘G.

Small, crisp GIFs

Smart encoding keeps files small without making them look bad. Parts of the screen that don’t move aren’t stored over and over.

Just enough control

Trim the start and end, pick a size and frame rate, and see the file size before you save.

Gets out of your way

Save it, copy it to the clipboard, or drag the GIF straight into Slack, Finder or Mail.

Private

Everything stays on your Mac. No account, no uploads, no tracking. Bop never records audio.

No editor. No video export.
No accounts. No cloud.

How it works

  1. Click.

    Click the Bop icon in the menu bar and drag a box around what you want to show.

  2. Record.

    Do the thing. Hit stop in the floating pill, then trim and pick a size if you like.

  3. Drop it anywhere.

    Drag the GIF into Slack, a doc, a pull request or an email. Or save or copy it.

Requirements

macOS 14 or later. Apple silicon and Intel.
