Recording with SundayRec
Beta: SundayRec is free and works today, but it is still in beta. Do a test recording before you rely on it for a service that matters — press record, talk for a minute, stop, and check the file.
SundayRec is the desktop app that records the service — audio and video — on your own machine. No subscription, no account, and your files never leave the computer unless you choose to upload them. Here is the five-minute version.
1. Download and install
Download the latest version from the SundayRec releases page on GitHub — pick the Mac or Windows installer at the top of the newest release. Install it like any other program. The SundayRec product page on this site is the app's home; there's no separate website.
2. Make your first recording
Open SundayRec and check that the right microphone (and camera, if you record video) is selected in the settings. Then press record. When the service is over, press stop. That's genuinely it — scheduling, transcription, streaming and podcast publishing exist too, but plain record→stop is the place to start.
3. Find your file
Finished recordings appear in the app's history list, and from there you can jump straight to the file on disk. The recordings are ordinary audio and video files — you can play them, copy them to a USB stick, or hand them to whoever edits, like any other file.
Good habits
- Test first. A one-minute test recording before the real thing catches a wrong microphone while it's still fixable.
- Check disk space. Video takes room; SundayRec shows you how much space is free.
- Let it warm up. Start the machine a little before the service rather than thirty seconds before.
Going further
When record→stop feels comfortable, SundayRec can do much more: scheduled recordings that start by themselves, local AI transcription of the sermon, live streaming and podcast publishing.
