👋 Hey Product Hunt! Maker here.
I built ScreenREC because I was frustrated with screen recorders that:
❌ Require heavy downloads
❌ Force you to create accounts
❌ Upload your recordings to their servers
❌ Charge monthly subscriptions for basic features
ScreenREC is different:
✅ Works 100% in your browser (no installation)
✅ No account needed - just open and record
✅ Privacy-first - recordings stay on YOUR device
✅ Completely free and open source
Built with: Next.js, MediaRecorder API, Canvas API, FFmpeg.wasm
Perfect for:
• Quick bug reports to your dev team
• Tutorial videos
• Client demos
• Async standups
• Educational content
I'd love your feedback! What features would make this even better for you?

Wow, ScreenREC is awesome! Love the instant, no-signup approach – finally, a truly frictionless recorder. Im curious, are there any plans to add custom watermark options for branding tutorial videos?
The zero-install browser based recording combined with local storage is a strong technical choice. I am curious how Screen REC manages CPU and memory usage during long Full HD recordings, especially when capturing webcam and audio simultaneously.
Very cool, I like it. I was using the Microsoft screen grab clipper tool for a while, and it made me nuts. The way the videos were all funky and sometimes it wouldn’t save it. Anyway, I love it.
Just a week ago, I found that the native app on Mac didn't support system sound while recording a private tutorial, which was so frustrating that I gave up. Wish I had known about ScreenREC earlier! Will definitely use it for my next tutorial recording. Congrats on the launch!
can it do auto zoom and smooth cursor like screensmooth?
Huge respect for going 100% Open Source with this! 🤝 It's rare to see high-quality tools that don't lock basic features behind a paywall.
The UI looks super clean. I'm curious about the tech stack—are you using the native MediaRecorder API directly, or something like ffmpeg.wasm to handle the encoding?
Also, just a thought: adding a simple 'trim' feature before export would make this the ultimate Loom killer for me. Best of luck!
Congrats on the launch! 🎉 As someone who records screens a lot, the no-install, no-login, record-and-go flow is a huge win for quick demos and bug reports.
