Deskeen (macOS) - Mac App Store - All-in-One Screen Recording & Screenshot Tool - Lifetime
Expired: March 23, 2026
It's time for another niche deal and an app alternative to the established providers. Until March 23rd, the screen capture tool "Deskeen" is available in the Mac App Store with a 40% discount.
"Deskeen" stands out because it combines professional screen recording and smart productivity tools in a single Mac application – and all as a secure offline solution without a subscription model. I find the widget function particularly useful.
Here's an overview of the top features:
- Versatile capture modes: Create perfectly fitting screenshots (full screen, windowed, free selection in PNG or JPG) as well as smooth screen videos (MP4, MOV with HEVC/H.264 at 15 to 60 FPS). Supports native GIF export (5 to 60 FPS) and professional audio recording (AAC with 128 to 320 kbps, as well as lossless ALAC and FLAC).
- Screen pinning & "Glance" overview: Captured screenshots can be pinned to the foreground as floating notes. The Glance function arranges all these pins clearly on the screen with a single click – ideal for research and comparisons.
- Local text recognition (OCR): Text can be read directly from images, videos or documents and copied to the clipboard, eliminating the need for separate OCR tools.
- Integrated annotation editor: Quickly add arrows, text, markings, or selectively obscure (pixelate) sensitive data before sharing.
- Convenient macOS widgets: Quick access to the most important recording tools and the capture history directly from the desktop or the notification center.
- Uncompromising data protection (privacy): Deskeen works 100% locally and offline (privacy by design). There are no secret server uploads, no cloud requirement, and no tracking. All sensitive data remains exclusively on your own Mac.
- Fair pricing model: A true one-time purchase via the Mac App Store with no ongoing subscription costs.
