Versions:
OpenScreen is a desktop screen recording application with a built-in editor, published by OpenScreen and currently available at version 1.11.0, with four versions released to date. Falling into the screen capture and video editing software category, the program is designed to turn a raw screen recording into a finished product demo or walkthrough without requiring a separate editing tool. Users can record a single window or the entire screen while capturing both microphone and system audio, then refine the result on a timeline-based editor. Editing capabilities include automatic or manual zooms that follow the cursor, customizable wallpapers and backgrounds, a webcam overlay, motion blur, cropping, trimming, and speed control, as well as annotations in the form of text, arrows, or images. Captions are transcribed on-device with no upload required and remain fully editable, supporting privacy-conscious workflows. An optional AI assistant can apply edits described in chat using the user's own API key, offering a conversational approach to post-production. Finished projects can be exported to MP4 or GIF formats, with rendering and encoding performed on the GPU and an automatic CPU fallback available for systems without compatible graphics hardware. Typical use cases include creating product demonstrations, software tutorials, walkthroughs, instructional content, and annotated recordings for documentation or support purposes. The combination of recording, cursor-following zoom effects, on-device transcription, and timeline editing makes it suitable for users who want a complete capture-to-export pipeline in a single application. OpenScreen is free for both personal and commercial use, with no features locked behind a paywall, making its full feature set accessible to individual creators, educators, developers, and business users alike.
