OpenScreen
Record and edit screen demos with zoom and annotations
OpenScreen records your screen, adds zoom, annotations, motion blur, and custom backgrounds, then exports clean. Free, open source, MIT licensed. For developers and makers who ship product demos.
OpenScreen is a free, open-source screen recorder with zoom, annotations, motion blur, and custom backgrounds, built as an alternative to Screen Studio.
It solves the biggest friction in demo recording cost by offering the core Screen Studio workflow at zero dollars, no watermark, no subscription, MIT licensed for personal and commercial use.
What makes it different is the no-gotchas open source model: download, record, export, ship. No account, no paywalled resolution, no trial expiry.
Key features and benefits:
Automatic and manual zoom means your demos direct attention without manual keyframing
Motion blur makes pan and zoom transitions feel polished, not jarring
Per-segment speed control lets you cut dead time without choppy edits
Custom backgrounds, gradients, and wallpapers make recordings look like product assets
System and mic audio capture means narrated walkthroughs work out of the box
Export in multiple aspect ratios and resolutions for any platform
For developers, indie founders, and open source maintainers who ship product demos, onboarding walkthroughs, or tutorial content and don't want a $350/year tool to do it.
What feature would push this from "good enough" to your default demo tool?
Recording clean demos usually requires a lot of tedious manual zooming and cropping in post production editing software. Automating dynamic zoom and annotations during the capture process is a fantastic quality of life update for creators. Is the output rendered as a standard video file or can users export editable raw vectors for the annotations?
