What it does
Two tools, one toolbar icon, both free and fully local. RECORD: use your product and the camera follows. Clicks pan to the point; typing opens tight and holds still instead of chasing the caret. The zoom is baked in — no timeline, no keyframes. WebCodecs encodes an exact 30 or 60fps and never crops your aspect ratio. SCREENSHOT: capture, crop at full resolution, frame it on a gradient you mix yourself, tilt it in real 3D. No account, no backend. connect-src 'none' — it cannot phone home.
A free Chrome extension with two tools: a screen recorder that bakes a cinematic zoom into every click, and a screenshot framer that sits your capture on a gradient you mix yourself. No account, and nothing ever leaves your browser.
Pricing, as stated on its site
Free — Phtonix Studio is a free auto-zoom screen recorder and screenshot framer with no account required and fully local processing.

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…

ScreentellJan 2026 · screentell.com · ▲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…

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
