About Screenity

Screenity is a screen recorder and video editor in one. The recorder is a free, open-source (GPLv3) Chrome extension that captures tabs, windows, or the whole screen with camera and mic, while the paid Pro editor adds multi-scene editing, auto-zoom from clicks, word-by-word captions, animated layouts, and shareable links. It is built by a solo founder and hosted entirely on EU infrastructure.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Recorder is free and open source under GPLv3, with 18k+ GitHub stars
Combines recording and a real scene-based editor, unlike basic recorders
Auto-zoom from clicks and word-by-word captions produce polished demos quickly
EU-hosted with no US data transfers and in-house transcription, which suits GDPR-sensitive teams
Single simple paid plan with everything included and a 7-day free trial

Cons

Recorder extension runs in Chrome-based browsers only; no native desktop app
Share links and the editor require the paid Pro plan
Recordings are capped at 1 hour each
Captions support English only for now
Built and maintained by a single developer, so support capacity is limited compared to Loom-sized teams

Key Features

Free open-source Chrome recorder

Record a tab, window, custom area, or the whole screen with camera, mic, and tab or system audio. The extension is free and open source under GPLv3.

Drawing, live blur, and cursor spotlight

Draw on the screen with pen, arrows, shapes, and text while recording, blur private information live, and spotlight the cursor with click ripples.

Multi-scene editor

Build a video from separate scenes you can record individually, reorder, trim, split, and speed up, like slides in a deck rather than one long take.

Auto-zoom from clicks

Clicks made while recording with the extension become zoom keyframes in the editor that you can retime, disable, or add manually.

Word-by-word captions

Audio is transcribed on Screenity's own EU servers, and captions highlight each word as it is spoken. Captions are editable and styleable; English only for now.

Animated layouts and mockups

Switch between screen, camera, or both mid-scene with animated transitions, and frame recordings in browser windows or device mockups.

Overlays, animations, and templates

Add text, arrows, shapes, and callouts with in, out, or loop animations, start from scene templates, and save your own to a reusable library.

Backdrops and music

Place colors, gradients, wallpapers, or uploaded images behind recordings, and add library or uploaded music tracks with volume, fade, and loop controls.
