uname -m in a terminal: x86_64 is Intel / AMD, aarch64 is ARM64.What the recorder does
A small app that stays out of your way. You show the task once; Clevera does the editing, the voice-over and the writing.
Pick a display or a window, your mic and camera
Open Clevera, choose what to record and press Start. Talk over it with your microphone, or add your face in a camera bubble. The app remembers your choices for next time.
On Mac you can also record part of the screen, or a connected iPhone or iPad.
Record your iPhone and iPad
Plug your iPhone or iPad into your Mac with a USB cable and pick it in the launcher. Then use the app on the device and talk over it: Clevera records the device’s screen, its sound and your voice.
The first time, unlock the device and tap Trust when it asks whether to trust your Mac. The recording uploads to your workspace like any other.
A small bar to pause, restart or stop
A short countdown, then you’re recording. The bar shows the time and lets you pause, start over or stop. Mistakes and waiting are fine: Clevera cuts them later.
Every click and typed word becomes a step
While you record, the app notes where you click and what you type. That’s how Clevera zooms in on each action and writes a step-by-step guide with the right screenshot for every step.
Text in password fields is never recorded.

Safe on your computer until it’s uploaded
When you stop, the app keeps a copy on your computer and uploads the recording to your Clevera workspace by itself. If something goes wrong, nothing is lost: the recording stays on your computer so you can try again.
When it’s done, one click opens it in Clevera.
Ready in a minute
The first time you open it, the app walks you through signing in and the permissions it needs to record your screen, microphone and camera. After that it updates itself, so you never have to download it again.
Security and privacy
You decide when Clevera records. Here is exactly what the app does, and what it doesn’t.
When you press Start
- Clevera records only what you picked: a display, a window, an area or a connected iPhone or iPad.
- Your microphone, camera and computer sound only if you turned them on.
- Your clicks and typing, so Clevera can write the steps. Text in password fields is never recorded.
- The recording uploads to your Clevera workspace as you record. A copy stays on your computer until the upload has finished.
When you’re not recording
- Nothing you see, say or type is captured or sent. Clicks and typing are only noted between Start and Stop.
- The launcher’s microphone meter and camera preview stay on your computer.
- The app only talks to Clevera to keep you signed in, show your workspaces, check for updates and finish uploading earlier recordings.
- Its logs reach us only when you send a problem report.

Questions
Yes. The apps are free to download and use with any Clevera plan, including Free: 100 credits a month and videos up to 3 minutes, shared by link or embed, no card needed. Paid plans add MP4 downloads and more credits. See pricing.
Most PCs and laptops with an Intel or AMD processor need Intel / AMD (x86_64). Computers with an ARM processor, such as ARM laptops or a Linux virtual machine on an Apple silicon Mac, need ARM64 (aarch64). Not sure? Open a terminal and run uname -m: it prints x86_64 or aarch64.
Make the file executable first: in Files, right-click it, choose Properties and turn on “Executable as Program”, or run chmod +x on it in a terminal. Then double-click it. Clevera adds itself to your apps list, so next time you can open it from there.
Yes, with the Mac app. Connect the iPhone or iPad to your Mac with a USB cable, unlock it and tap Trust if it asks, then choose iPhone/iPad in the launcher. Clevera records the device’s screen and sound, with your voice from the Mac’s microphone. The Windows and Linux apps record the computer’s screen.
Yes. The app checks for new versions and updates itself automatically, so you only download it once.
Only what you choose, and only while you record: the display or window you pick, your microphone and, if you turn it on, your camera. It also notes your clicks and typing so Clevera can write the steps. Text in password fields is never recorded. Recordings go to your own Clevera workspace, encrypted in storage and in transit.
