Detailed Introduction

Screenity – Free & Open‑Source Chrome Screen Recorder with Live Annotation

What is Screenity?

Screenity is a powerful, privacy‑focused screen recorder built as a Chrome (and Chromium‑based) browser extension. It lets users record screens, browser tabs, application windows, and webcam—all without sign‑in, time limits, or data collection.


Why Choose Screenity?

  • Unlimited recordings: Capture as many videos as you like, for any duration.
  • Privacy first: No data is sent to servers; everything is stored locally or optionally to Google Drive.
  • Rich annotation tools: Draw, add text, arrows, shapes, zoom, blur sensitive info, and highlight cursor/clicks in real‑time.
  • Built‑in video editor: Trim, crop, merge, remove or add audio—export in MP4, WEBM, GIF, and more.
  • Open source & self‑hostable: Licensed under GPL‑3.0, you can inspect or host from GitHub.
