Screen recording and editing for product demos and walkthroughs.

OpenScreen is a desktop screen recorder and video editor for product demonstrations and walkthroughs on macOS, Windows and Linux. It records windows or full screens with audio and optional webcam overlays, then adds zooms, annotations, captions and timeline edits. Users export MP4 or GIF files; a headless command-line interface supports scripted recording, project editing and rendering.
