What can you do with it?

  • Create a product demo or website walkthrough
  • Edit a tutorial with zooms, captions, annotations, and a webcam overlay
  • Use the optional demo skill and CLI with a compatible coding agent to prepare feature videos

Before you start

  • Install the desktop app using the recommended route for your platform: Microsoft Store on Windows, or official GitHub releases for macOS and Linux.
  • At least 8 GB RAM; 16 GB recommended. Check the official installation guide for CPU and graphics requirements.
  • Windows 10 version 1903+ or macOS 13+; native Linux capture uses PipeWire and xdg-desktop-portal, with a more limited fallback.
  • Grant the screen-recording, audio, and accessibility permissions required by your operating system.
  • Optional AI editing needs your own model-provider API key. The optional agent skill/MCP workflow has separate client setup; basic recording does not require an AI subscription.

Accounts and costs

Free MIT-licensed desktop app for personal and commercial use, with no recorder subscription or watermark. Optional AI editing uses your own API key and can incur model-provider charges.

Follow the project’s own documentation for current installation steps. This library helps you choose where to look; it doesn’t certify a tool or run its code for you.

Official README and GitHub metadata reviewed. Not installed or execution-tested. This is the community-maintained continuation of the archived original project. It is actively evolving; project-file and CLI compatibility may change. Beginner setup refers to the desktop app, not the optional agent integration.
