Would love to be able to self host this tool - I'd be fine with purchasing a license to do so but I'd really rather not have this running on hardware that isn't mine - wrapping this up in a docker container that I can deploy would be mint.

Right on! That is definitely something I am willing to explore over time! I know Basecamp has been experimenting with the Pay Once model with great success.

#33You 100% need a privacy policy, you are potentially storing PII information and secure details with this.
People are a nightmare, I can already see someone leaking secrets with this.

#34I use screen recorders all the time. Question: what format does it capture in? Some screen recorders capture as mov files, which get janky in high zoom. A pro app like Camtasia captures in what I assume is the raw screen data, and for this reason zooming in on a clip works really well.
I use getDisplayMedia which is a JavaScript API that lets you capture recordings as large as your computer can handle, but the format is fixed to either MP4 or WebM. Here is the JS-based player: https://screenrecorder.me/projects/s3hx9YRgXNsrN1s/player Here is a video that I rendered: https://screenrecorder.me/player/s3hx9YRgXNsrN1s There are definitely artifacts, especially in the latter, but in practice the videos…
Would it also capture system audio? Wasn’t there some security restrictions on that for MacOS

I don't really have a use for this particular software, but I wanted to add my +1 to pay once self-hosted Sofware. It's such a great model for the customer and I have bought software with that model even when there were free open-source alternatives. I really hope it works on the business side as I would love for it to viable.

#37congrats on the launch. I was just about looking for a tool like this.

#38Fantastic product! I almost feel bad for Screen Studio as he's a solo creator and charges for the product, this will most certainly be bad news for him

#39I’ve using screen studio since it was beta release. Making alternative is a start but if you want to be better, I would suggest adding what’s missing from screen studio.
Few things I would like to see:
- Ability to add images in the time line, think of intro/outro.
- Ability to add notes (text) on frames to explain something or highlight an area.
As some comments mentioned, running locally is a must, and I have no problem paying for it.
Good luck

Don't worry about the docker container right now, since the community can figure it out though it would obviously be a great step imo.
First we really need the Source code of this tool though if we really want this tool to stay for posterity!
