The short
answers.

Where do my recordings go?

Desktop recordings start on your device. When you choose to share, you can use Google Drive or GoHighLevel Media Storage with a BestShot Watch page. Storage availability and upload limits depend on your provider.

Can I record without installing the app?

Yes. Sign in to BestShot Watch and choose “Record in browser.” Your browser asks which screen, window, or tab to capture. Connect Google Drive to publish browser shots.

Does BestShot work on Mac?

Yes. BestShot is available for Apple Silicon Macs with native screen/window recording and editing. Download the signed and notarized v0.14.20 DMG, then drag BestShot into Applications. Screen/window recording requires macOS 15 or newer. Recording and video export also need FFmpeg installed separately, for example with brew install ffmpeg. This release does not include an Intel Mac build; Mac updates are installed manually for now.

Do captions need a cloud AI service?

Desktop captions can run locally after an optional speech-model download. You can edit the text and export captions. Transcription support and setup are different in a self-hosted Watch workspace.

Is BestShot free and open source?

BestShot’s original code is MIT licensed and Windows and Apple Silicon Mac installers are available on GitHub. Your storage provider or your own hosting may have separate costs. BestShot is currently in preview.
