From the README
A free, open-source desktop app for recording your screen and turning the result into polished product demos and walkthroughs.
A raw capture goes in and comes out ready to post — on X, Reddit, YouTube, a docs page, or a landing page. That is the category Screen Studio defined; OpenScreen is the open-source entry in it, and not a clone.
100% free for personal and commercial use, with nothing held behind a paywall.
Project status. OpenScreen is under active development — expect rough edges and occasional breaking changes, including to the
.openscreenproject format and the CLI. Bug reports are welcome: open an issue.OpenScreen ships a CLI for scripts, CI, and AI coding agents: record the screen headlessly, edit the
.openscreenproject JSON programmatically (zooms, annotations, trims), and render MP4/GIF with the full export pipeline — no visible windows, NDJSON output with--json.
