Am I in the minority for thinking ScreenStudio is actually worth the money? The recent video I did for Cling for example ( https://lowtechguys.com/cling ) I’ve had many people ask about how I did it because it has just the right amount of motion and highlighting. I did it in a few minutes of editing in the ScreenStudio UI. I’m not saying it’s a great video, but people say it conveys the info well enough and that’s wh…

I created QuickScre because I wanted a no editing way of recording polished screen recordings for Slack etc. Free to try https://www.appblit.com/quickscreen

"OpenScreen is your free, open-source alternative to Screen Studio (sort of)." If you rip something off, at least have the decency to not compare your product to it. I mean, why is it good to have zero revenue and at the same time killing revenue for something else, that existed for a long time? What's wrong with people, why are they biting their own hand? FOSS is a trojan horse and look, how many borderline idiotic…

To be clear - I didn't create this app, but I do think it's cool that good open source alternatives are emerging and felt like this might be interesting to the community

Also checkout https://screenix.studio/ if you're on Linux I just tried Open Screen but it didn't work on my machine (Cachy OS) - it didn't detect the screen or my microphone. Hopefully it gets better

Great share, didn't know I wanted something like this until this thread. Thanks!

Looks awesome! Super excited to try it. What are pros / cons over Cap? https://cap.so/ - also open source https://github.com/CapSoftware/cap

I've also found https://framecapture.pro to be a super good free alternative to Screen Studio. It's got... literally everything...

I see that this is for MacOS. Isn't there a stock feature for screen recording, like on the iPhone, or on Windows (snipping tool can do screen recordings since Windows 10 or 11)?

Shift+Cmd+5 brings up the built-in screen capture tool, which includes options for recording the screen (or a window, or a section of the screen).

OpenScreen and its ilk seem to have more features for post-capture editing though.
