24 alternatives to I made a free web alternative of Screen Studio
Hello HN, I've always found Screen Studio recordings superb. Unfortunately I'm not on a Mac, so I've developed my own tool that works in the browser for all OS. I hope you'll find it useful, and I'd be delighted to hear your feedback.
This is a browser-based screen recording tool that works across all operating systems. Created as an alternative to the Mac-exclusive Screen Studio, it captures screen activity in a web application accessible to users… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes. Prices are shown for the 2 we have checked on their own sites, 1 of them free or with a free tier. I made a free web alternative of Screen Studio launched in 2024; newer entries below may have overtaken it.

Hi HN, I've been working on this project for the last 5 months, inspired by Screen Studio but runs 100% in the browser. Here is a demo of the editor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7-etsFZgPI One of the big challenges of using the browser is getDisplayMedia, the API for recording screens, doesn't provide mouse coordinates for security reasons. Mouse coordinates are important for auto-focus animations. So I trained a YOLOv11 model to detect mouse cursors and I run inference in real time while you record. Also, I created my own Remotion-style renderer because I started with…

Screentell▲164I’m an indie dev, and every time I launch or ship anything, there’s this familiar mini-hell: “now I need to record a decent demo…” You probably know the drill: - install yet another screen recorder - mess with audio input / system audio - accidentally capture your messy tabs or notifications - re-record because you forgot to hide something sensitive - open a separate editor just to crop, zoom, or add a simple arrow After doing this a few too many times, I realized I was spending way more time fighting tools than making the actual demo. And most of my needs were pretty simple: short…

Just something I put together quickly: https://webcast.browserprotect.me/ I made this in one day, now I'm wondering if It's interesting enough to make it a real product (Add new features like setting the size, zoom, annotations, fix bugs, export, voice-over, etc..) Here is an example screencast I just did: https://webcast.browserprotect.me/view/2764aa94dcd855959819fd91881f0882baa61a0e-44646 Do you consider this a viable product? I'm thinking about offering it for free and then add some premium features.
