Screen recorder
Capture your screen straight from the browser using the recording APIs your browser already ships, then trim and annotate the clip before saving it. No installer, no account, and no upload to somebody else's video host.
Processed on your device — never uploaded

What the recorder does
A grid of names does not help much when two of them sound alike. Find the row that matches what you are actually trying to do.
A demo, a bug report or a walkthrough to send someone
Screen recorder — Captures a tab, a window or the whole screen, then trims and annotates it before you save.
Recording in the browser, and what that means for your video
Screen capture is a browser capability, so a recording never has to leave your machine to exist. The video is assembled in the tab and handed to your downloads folder. Nothing is uploaded, there is no processing queue, no length cap imposed by a free plan, and no watermark burned into the corner of the result. The practical limits are the ones your own hardware sets: a long recording at a high resolution occupies memory while it is being made.
Capturing a tab, a window, or the whole screen
The three options are not interchangeable. A tab capture follows one page and cannot accidentally show your inbox, which makes it the right default for a product demo and the safest choice if you are recording anything you will share publicly. A window capture follows one application, including its menus. A full-screen capture shows everything, notifications included — worth turning those off first. Audio is a separate permission: your microphone for narration, and system audio, which browsers only offer for tab and screen captures and not on every platform.
Making a recording people will actually watch
Most screen recordings are too long, and the fix is nearly always trimming rather than re-recording. Cut the first few seconds, which are almost always you finding the window, and the last few, which are you reaching for the stop button. Move deliberately and pause between steps: a cursor darting around is hard to follow at any speed. If you are demonstrating something small, zoom the page itself before recording rather than relying on the viewer to squint at a full-resolution capture scaled down in a chat window.
Questions
Is my recording uploaded anywhere?
No. The capture is assembled in this browser tab and saved straight to your device. There is no upload step, no account and no copy on any server — which also means nobody, including us, can recover a recording you did not save.
Can I record system audio as well as my voice?
Sometimes. Microphone audio works broadly. Capturing the sound the computer is playing is offered by the browser only for tab and full-screen captures, and support varies by browser and operating system — Chrome on Windows is the most reliable combination, and macOS is the most restrictive.
How long can a recording be?
There is no imposed limit. The constraint is memory: the video is held by the tab while it is being recorded, so very long captures at high resolution can exhaust it. For anything lengthy, record in sections — which usually makes for a better video anyway.
