Openscreen

Openscreen is a free, open-source screen recording and demo creation tool that positions itself as an alternative to Screen Studio. It lets you record your screen and produce polished, animated demo videos without watermarks, subscriptions, or per-seat fees.

Built with Electron and PixiJS, Openscreen provides zoom and pan effects, cursor highlights, background customization, and smooth animation that makes screen recordings look professional. It supports commercial use under the MIT license and exports high-quality video files ready for marketing, documentation, or onboarding content.

Launched in late 2025, Openscreen quickly gained traction with developers and designers who wanted a Screen Studio-quality output without the paid price tag. Being open-source and self-contained, all processing happens locally on your machine with no cloud upload required.
