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.
I made a free web alternative of Screen Studio launched on October 5, 2024 with 34 votes, #731 of 5,185 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 2 years on.
In plain words
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 on Windows, Linux, and other platforms. The tool is free and aims to deliver similar recording quality to its inspiration while removing platform barriers to access.

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…
