Yfli Screen Recorder v4.1.0 — Free for Everyone + New Pro Features

v4.1.0 is the most significant strategy shift we’ve ever made at Yfli Screen Recorder. We’ve removed every recording time limit — screen, audio, camera, all of it — and shipped three of the most-requested features in a single release. Here’s the full breakdown.

Recording Is Now 100% Free

The old free tier had a 30-second limit. You’d launch the app, hit record, and before you could even start talking, the timer would cut you off. That was the wrong first impression.

Here’s what changed:

Feature	v4.0.4	v4.1.0
Audio Recording (MP3)	30s trial	Free, unlimited
Screen Recording	30s trial	Free, unlimited
Camera Recording	30s trial	Free, unlimited
Webcam Picture-in-Picture	Pro only	Free

Pro is now what it always should have been — premium add-ons, not a paywall. Advanced audio formats (WAV, FLAC, AAC, M4A), mouse click effects, and scheduled recording remain Pro features. But the core recording experience? Completely open.

Schedule Recording: Set It and Forget It

This is the one I’ve wanted personally. When you’re recording online meetings, webinars, or remote interviews, there’s a universal need: start automatically, stop automatically. You shouldn’t have to babysit a timer.

Schedule Recording works across both audio and screen recording modules. Two modes:

• Stop After — set a duration (say, 30 minutes), hit record, and it stops on its own when time’s up
• Schedule Recording — pick a specific start and end time. The app wakes up, starts recording, and stops at the scheduled time, hands-free

If the start time has already passed, recording begins immediately. Setting a new schedule automatically cancels the previous one. And the record button shows a live countdown so you always know where you stand.

⚠️ Schedule Recording is a Pro feature. Basic recording (screen, audio, camera) is completely free for everyone.

Other Input: Mix Two Audio Sources with BlackHole

Here’s a problem every podcaster runs into: your mic captures your voice just fine, but how do you also record the other person’s voice coming through your computer?

v4.1.0 adds an Other Input dropdown in the audio recording panel. Pick a second audio device, and it gets mixed with your main microphone in real time before encoding. The classic setup:

Microphone:    MacBook Pro Microphone  →  your voice
Other Input:   BlackHole               →  system audio / remote voice
                                         ↓
                              One clean MP3 file, both sources blended

BlackHole is the go-to virtual audio driver on macOS — open source, free, and widely used. Install it once, Yfli Screen Recorder detects it automatically, and you’re set.

You only need one valid input to record. Select both, and they mix automatically. Device selections persist across sessions, so you configure it once and never touch it again.

Mouse Click Effects: Never Lose Your Cursor

If you’ve ever watched a tutorial and thought “wait, what did they just click?”, you know the problem. The cursor is tiny, and without visual feedback, viewers get lost.

v4.1.0 ships with 4 click animation presets:

Preset	Effect	Color
Ripple	Hollow ring expands and fades (600ms)	#007AFF
Pulse Ring	Solid red circle pulses and fades	#FF3B30
Glow	Soft yellow glow expands and fades	#FFCC00
Custom	Load your own GIF or PNG frame animation	Custom

Both left and right clicks trigger the effect. Scale is adjustable from 0.5x to 2.0x. Everything runs through the CIImage GPU pipeline with zero-copy compositing, so there’s virtually no impact on recording frame rate.

Select any non-Off effect and Show Mouse Cursor turns on automatically. Turn off Cursor, and it switches back to Off. In Custom mode with no file selected, it behaves like Off — no surprises.

⚠️ Mouse click effects are a Pro feature.

Smaller Fixes Worth Mentioning

• Preview window jitter fixed — optimized the layout update logic for the screen recording preview window, eliminating the visual shake that could happen during re-layout
• Annotation text input fixed — the text tool in annotations now properly accepts keyboard input. You can type directly onto your recording canvas while all other annotation tools (arrows, rectangles, brush) continue to work normally
