RecNow - Screen Recorder

A screen recorder without the ads.

Most free screen recorders interrupt you with ads, push a subscription, or bury the record button under menus. RecNow does none of that. Open it, press the red button, and you're recording.

■ No ads at all
No banners, no full-screen ads, no "watch a video to continue". Nothing interrupts a recording.

■ No subscription
Everything is free with a 10-minute limit per recording. If you need longer, Premium is a single purchase. Nothing recurring, ever.

■ Light on your phone
Under 5 MB. Built for phones with limited storage and modest hardware, not just flagships.

■ Sound the way you want
Record system audio from games and videos, your voice through the microphone, or both mixed together.

■ Simple by design
A record button, the time remaining, and your recordings. No account, no sign-up, no tutorial.

■ Missing a built-in recorder?
Some phones ship without one. RecNow gives those devices full screen recording with sound.


● Features
• 720p / 1080p (only resolutions your device can actually encode are offered)
• System audio and microphone together
• Pause and resume mid-recording
• Start from the Quick Settings tile
• Optional 3-second countdown
• Dark mode
• Play, share, and delete from the recordings list


● What's free
Every feature. Resolution and audio are never locked. Each recording can run up to 10 minutes, with no limit on how many you make.

Longer than 10 minutes? Premium is a one-time purchase, not a subscription.


● Privacy
Recordings are saved to your device and never uploaded. We run no servers and hold no copy of your files.

● Why each permission
• Screen recording: required to capture your screen. Android shows a confirmation dialog every time.
• Microphone: needed whenever you record audio. Android requires the same permission even for system audio only. If you record silently, it is never requested.
• Notifications: shows recording status with pause and stop controls.
