Screenium review
A focused Mac recorder with detailed editing and a $59.99 one-time license.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Screenium is macOS screen-recording and screencast editing software from Synium Software GmbH. It is suited to Mac users creating tutorials, gameplay recordings, presentations, and other screen-based videos. Capture options cover the full screen, individual windows, selected areas, and connected iOS or tvOS device displays. Webcam picture-in-picture, system audio through the Synium Audio Driver, and microphone commentary support a range of narrated recording formats.
The published Screenium 3 plan costs $59.99 USD as a one-time purchase. It includes screen recording, webcam picture-in-picture, system audio and microphone recording, plus video editing and export. The product records at up to 60 frames per second and provides controls for cursor movement, clicks, keystrokes, and scrolling. For buyers who prefer a single upfront payment over recurring software charges, this pricing structure is straightforward. There is no free plan, so the one-time license is the main purchase path.
Editing is a notable part of the product rather than an afterthought. Screenium supports cuts, transitions, text, shapes, markers, animations, effects, and audio tracks, allowing recordings to be refined before export. Direct sharing or export is available through YouTube, Facebook, Flickr, Messages, and Mail. That combination makes Screenium a good fit for Mac-centered creators who want recording and editing in one application, especially when connected Apple-device capture matters. It is less suitable for teams that need Windows or broader platform coverage, or for buyers seeking a free entry tier.
