Frequently asked questions
Can I use ScreenTailor today?
Yes. ScreenTailor is available for macOS 12 and later. Download from the top of this page and try the 14-day free trial; auto-updates keep you on the latest build.
Subscription or one-time purchase?
Both. You can pick Lifetime (one-time $39, one Mac, all v1.x updates included) or a subscription (Monthly $4.99/mo or Yearly $39/yr — both for 3 Macs with every update while active). The Yearly plan is the same price as Lifetime so you can compare them directly. See all plans for details.
Which Macs are supported?
macOS 12 and later, on both Apple Silicon and Intel. The build is signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple, so it opens without Gatekeeper warnings.
Do you offer refunds?
Yes. Purchases are handled by Lemon Squeezy, our merchant of record, with a standard refund policy. Subscription plans can be cancelled anytime from the Lemon Squeezy customer portal (link in your purchase email). To request a refund, email us using the address in the footer and we will coordinate with Lemon Squeezy on your behalf.
Does ScreenTailor record system audio (the sound my Mac plays)?
Yes. Turn on the speaker toggle in the capture bar (on by default) and apps, browser tabs and calls are recorded along with your mic — as separate tracks you can balance in the editor. No virtual audio driver needed. System audio capture requires macOS 13 or later; on macOS 12, recordings capture screen and mic.
Can I turn a recording into a written guide?
Yes. In the editor, switch from Edit to Step-by-Step Guide: capture the frames that matter — or generate one step per caption automatically — then export A4 pages as a PDF or PNGs. Steps are images with your zoom, blur and captions baked in; the PDF's text isn't searchable.
How is my privacy handled?
Your recordings stay on your Mac. Anonymous diagnostics and a single trial-start event are on by default — easy to disable in Settings — and nothing personal is shared.
