Free Lite: Audio and MIDI capture with a 90-second buffer. Pro unlocks screen and camera video plus buffers up to 10 minutes.
SnagBack is the moment you didn’t record.
A lightweight macOS menu bar app that continuously captures a rolling buffer of Screen/Video, Audio, and MIDI while you work, play, stream, or make music. When something worth keeping happens, recover the previous moments—even if you pressed Record too late—and export them instantly.
Choose what to capture:
• Screen or video: record your entire display, a selected portion, or a selected window.
• Audio: keep recent sound from your selected input.
• MIDI: preserve recent MIDI performance data.
• Combine sources when you need complete context.
Designed to stay out of your way:
• Older material is overwritten automatically, keeping storage under control.
• Export audio as WAV, MP3, or M4A, with Audio+MIDI, Audio-only, or MIDI-only options.
• Export screen/video clips with flexible format and quality settings.
• Drag recovered files directly into a DAW, video editor, chat, or any destination.
• Works well with virtual MIDI ports and audio-routing tools such as Loopback and BlackHole.
Use SnagBack for:
• Music production and improvisation
• Streaming and gaming highlights
• Tutorials, demos, and bug reports
• Fast idea capture and creative experiments
Your captured content stays on your Mac. SnagBack does not upload your Screen/Video, Audio, or MIDI to cloud servers.
SnagBack requires macOS 13 Ventura or later. Screen recording, microphone, camera, and file access permissions may be requested depending on the capture modes you use.
SnagBack Lite includes Audio and MIDI capture and export with a rolling buffer up to 90 seconds. SnagBack Pro, a one-time In-App Purchase, unlocks screen and camera video capture and extends the rolling buffer up to 10 minutes. No account or email registration is required.
