OpenScreen is a desktop application for recording your screen and editing the result into polished product demos and walkthroughs.

The tool addresses the workflow of capturing screen activity and transforming raw video into shareable content. It combines GPU-accelerated screen recording with built-in video editing capabilities, including AI-assisted editing driven through chat interaction, wallpaper and video effects, and direct export. The application runs natively on Windows, macOS, and Linux with no watermarks, subscriptions, or paywalls.

OpenScreen suits developers, product managers, and content creators who need to produce demo videos and walkthroughs without licensing costs or external tools. It works well for teams creating documentation, landing page videos, or social media content. The tool is entirely free for both personal and commercial use. The README positions it as the open-source alternative in the category defined by Screen Studio, emphasizing that it is not a clone but a distinct implementation of that workflow.

The project is under active development with rough edges and occasional breaking changes to the project format and CLI. Bug reports are actively welcomed through the issue tracker. Development moved to this repository with the original creator's approval after the initial project was archived, maintaining the same MIT license and project name.
