Tapes is a screencast app living in your menu bar. Select part of the screen, record up to 3 minutes of video and instantaneously get a share link.

Don’t type a long email to your team with static screenshots, use Tapes to show them what you accomplished. Don’t describe over the phone how to add a printer to your parents’ Mac, send them a tape so they can see for themselves.

Tapes is simple to use and super fast. There is no waiting for the upload, the link is added to your clipboard immediately so you can share it over instant message, email or via Twitter.

Because Tapes is designed for communication through short screencasts, there is a limit of 60 minutes to record in last 30 days. Our global statistics say that 98% users never reach 30 minutes recorded per month. The limit exists to make Tapes economically feasible and prevent abuse. You can also increase your limit by sharing a referral URL, it will give you 15 more minutes.

Good app – if it only worked :-(

I was thrilled to try this app which was recommended to my by my favorite podcast show. – Unfortunately the videos are not uploading and therefore the app is totally useless. I tried mailing the guys who made this software but never got a reply. Please fix the app as soon as possible!

Quick and easy to make and share a screencast

I love this app! It you ever need to quick explain how to do something on the computer, or do show someone a problem you are having, this is the program to use. Simple record the screencast, and it’s uploaded and ready to share. I am surprised on how easy and useful this is!

Удобная и компактная скринкаст-утилита

Отличная утилита для создания короткого скринкаста и его расшаривания. Клиенты в восторге, когда вместо словесного описания получают ссылку на исчерпывающе-понятное видео, которое эффективно заменяет страницу текстовых инструкций. Экономия времени и денег для всех. Решает только одну проблему, но делает это на «отлично».

Quick and easy - even for a non-broadcaster

Bought this app based on the positive comments on the Mac Power User podcast. Within 5 minutes of install I had created and sent out a screencast to my entire sales team. Clean, simple, and more effective than writing up a how-to document - which most sales people dont like to read anyway. Great app and thanks to MPU for the tip!

Simply Amazing

I was dreading showing the folks at the office how to do something in Excel, because I knew I was going to have to show them over and over about 50 times. It took almost exactly the same amount of time to record, post, and distribute as it would have to show one person one time! I didn’t realize that it would record your voice, but it does! Thanks MPU for Suggesting this!

Thanks MPU

I also bought this app after learning about it on Mac Power Users! Looking forward to using it.

Quick and easy (Fixed)

It wasnt working on 10.8 but this update fixed that. I like this app, its simple. A few features Id love to see added: - branding removed from the web page since its a paid app, especially since they also have an imposed bandwidth limit per month - the ability to expire tapes from within the menubar
