Everything you need to ship demo-quality recordings
Window or full-screen capture
Record any window, region, or full screen with system + microphone audio. macOS 13+, Windows, and Linux (PipeWire) all supported.
Auto + manual zoom
Zooms snap to your cursor and clicks automatically, with manual override. The Screen Studio look without the Screen Studio price tag.
Cinematic backgrounds
Drop your recording into customizable backgrounds, control padding, rounded corners, and shadow — perfect for landing-page hero clips.
Motion blur + speed ramps
Smooth zooms with motion blur, plus per-clip speed adjustment so dead air gets condensed without the cuts being obvious.
Annotations + trim
Draw, highlight, and label on top of clips, then trim and crop in the same editor. No round-trip to After Effects.
Webcam + multi-format export
Optional webcam overlay; export to MP4, GIF, or WebM at the resolution and framerate you need.
Zero cost. Zero accounts. Zero watermarks.
OpenScreen runs entirely on your machine — no servers to pay for, no subscriptions, no usage caps, no watermark on your exports.
