ScreenFlow User Guide
ScreenFlowHelper — Overview

ScreenFlowHelper

ScreenFlow contains a small background application that manages various aspects of the ScreenFlow experience.

Firstly, it is responsible for responding to the command-shift-2 hot-key (or the hot-key you've selected in Preferences).

Secondly, it is responsible for maintaining the ScreenFlow Main Menu Bar, if you choose to have the menu visible.

Lastly, it is responsible for managing the recording process and relaunching the ScreenFlow application when recording is complete.

Enabling the ScreenFlowHelper when you login

So that ScreenFlow's hot-key is always available to you, it is suggested that you tick the "Launch ScreenFlow at user login" in the Preferences dialog.

Enabling / Disabling the ScreenFlow menu in the Menu Bar

You can disable the ScreenFlow Menu Bar in the Preferences settings dialog.
