iShowU Instant

The application captures the macOS screen in real time, allowing users to record any window or full display while optionally including audio from a microphone. It offers built‑in audio processing such as dynamics, compression, and equalisation, and lets users overlay text, images, or mouse‑click visualisations on the video. After recording, users can trim the start or end, create time‑lapse clips, and export to QuickTime formats, with additional support for ProRes.

It targets creators who need quick, on‑the‑fly recordings on macOS, such as educators, tutorial makers, or anyone sharing visual feedback. The interface provides a basic mode for simple captures and an advanced mode with extensive settings, presets, and in‑app purchases for extra features. Integrated sharing lets recordings be sent directly to services like YouTube, Vimeo, or saved as animated GIFs.

The software runs natively on Intel and Apple Silicon Macs, requires macOS 10.14.4 or later, and combines features from earlier iShowU versions into a single package aimed at fast, flexible screen capture and lightweight editing.
