Screenity is a Chrome extension that functions as a free screen recorder and annotation tool. It solves the problem of creating video content for tutorials, product demos, and feedback sharing by capturing screen, audio, and camera feeds directly in the browser, then offering built-in editing capabilities without requiring users to sign up or upload their data to external servers. The tool records to local files and processes everything client-side, ensuring privacy by design.
Screenity suits anyone creating video content who values privacy and wants to avoid subscription costs or cloud uploads. It works well for educators, product teams, and remote workers who need to produce screencasts with annotations, cursor highlighting, and audio editing. The extension handles unlimited recordings with no time restrictions and supports multiple export formats including MP4, GIF, and WebM, as well as direct sharing via Google Drive. For users wanting additional features like multi-scene editing, zoom keyframes, and captions, the project offers a paid hosted platform alternative.
The project receives initial responses to issues and pull requests within one to two weeks. Work in the issue tracker centers on enhancements, bug reports, and user questions.
