Screenity
Screenity is a browser-based screen recorder designed to capture screen activity and audio directly within a web browser. It functions as a privacy-focused capture tool that handles data locally and includes a web-based video editor for basic media refinement.
The project distinguishes itself through real-time screen annotation tools, allowing users to draw shapes and arrows or zoom into specific areas during a recording. It also provides specialized privacy controls to blur sensitive information and apply backgrounds to camera feeds.
The tool covers a broad range of media capabilities, including user interaction highlighting for mouse clicks and cursor movements, as well as video editing tools for trimming and cropping. It supports capturing tabs, desktops, and cameras alongside internal and microphone audio.
Recordings are processed using client-side encoding and can be exported to various file formats or uploaded to cloud storage.
