Where a Mac screen recorder saves its files

Everything Prodoozie captures lives on your Mac, in your home folder.

Recordings: ~/Movies/iRecord/Projects/ — one folder per Recording. The Takes are inside, in numbered subfolders, as MP4s. Camera footage sits beside the screen file as a second MP4.

The folder still carries the app's former name, iRecord, and keeps it. Each Recording stores the full path to its Takes, so renaming or moving the folder would leave every Recording unable to find them.

The folder is named after whatever the Recording was called when you made it, and it keeps that name even if you rename the Recording later — so a Recording you have renamed will not have a matching folder name. Renaming only changes the title you see in Prodoozie, and the name of the file Save Video writes. The surest way to find a Recording's folder is Show in Finder, on the Recording's card on Home or in the editor.

Exports: Save Video fills the destination in with ~/Movies/iRecord and you can change it with Change…. The file is named after the Recording's title; saving a second time offers to keep both rather than overwrite the first.

Finding a folder from inside the app. After an export, press Reveal in Finder on the completion message.

Nothing is uploaded. There is no account, no sync and no cloud copy. If you delete the folder, the Recording is gone.
