Screen Recorder — A minimal, ad-free screen recorder in your browser
With more of us working from home than ever before, there's a growing need to show someone what's on your screen. That's why I built Screen Recorder! It's a modern and minimal Progressive Web App. 100% Free. Private. No Watermarks. No Ads. No Recording Limits.

I see this as the video capturing equivalent of Skitch. So simple it doesn't need a manual. Love it! Thanks @jaydanurwin

@vishipedia Thank you for the compliment! That really means a lot to me because my motto for design is "get out of their way". The design should help people get to what they need quicker without a need for a user manual.
@chrisbuttenham It's definitely a possibility! Although I did want to emphasize the fact that is a PWA. Meaning you can actually install it your desktop and access it from your App dock, desktop, or applications folder. Just click the "+" install icon in the top right of your browser's url bar (in Edge and Chrome right now). Thank you for the request though, I'll keep it in mind!
Nice idea @jaydanurwin - I am not clear how the screen recording is then available to share or download? And what if you want to delete it? As there is no log in how do people remember where the past recordings are? Thanks
@krishnade After you've finished/saved a recording you should see a button to download the recording. This will download a .webm file you can send through email, slack, or upload to a cloud storage service. There's no functionality at the moment to save past recordings and if I were to add that it would have to be a paid feature due to the bandwidth and storage requirements for something of that nature. I hope this helps and feel free to contact me at https://jaydanurwin.com/contact if you have any further troubles with it! 🙂
@lincolnwdaniel Thank you Lincoln! There aren't any plans for GIF export currently but I'll definitely keep it in mind down the road. You should be able to download the .webm though and use a converter to make it a GIF 👍
@tin_hang_liu This is seeming like a common request. Someone asked this same question earlier but I know it can easily be missed. Here was my reply:
"I am currently scoping out the possibility of it supporting MP4 exports by default on Chrome rather than a WEBM file. Since this is using web technologies I really am at the mercy of what the user's browser supports and right now Chrome is the only browser that would support a direct recording to MP4 (according to my research). Keep your eyes peeled though, you might see the MP4 export sooner rather than later! 👍"
@aditya_kandari Thank you so much for the compliment! I really did want to design it in a minimalist way so there is nothing getting in the way of getting a quick and easy recording.
@Jaydanurwin Quick question - I do live streams on LinkedIn Live and have been wanting to record just the sound after the show (or during I guess) - will this do that for me?
@phatcatbrett Feel free to see my comment above to Nate. It only will record external audio through a microphone instead of the internal audio being sent out of the browser. There's a chance I'll be able to add that feature down the road but right now it'll only be recording incoming audio from a mic.
I hope that helps!
@Jaydanurwin I loved the simplicity (to the point), thank you very much!
I missed the hotkey and a timer to boot.
I currently use this app "ScreenToGif '" and was looking for something more minimal.
God bless!
@anton_viborniy Hi Anton! Feel free to read my how to guide (link below). The goal of the product is to capture a screen recording of your screen (with audio if you want), download that recording, and then send it whichever way you'd like (Slack, email, Google Drive, etc.). I hope that helps! :)

Hi!
This is the most lightest and easyest screen recorder I've ever used. Just loved it.
Keep up the good works.
I'll bite, could I ask whats better about this vs loom, screencastify etc ?
I'm a BIIIG screen recorded, remote team across multiple timezones, so always looking for ways to improve my work flows :)
@veebuv Great questions! One of the main differences if you're comparing it to products like Loom and Screencastify is those are both chrome extensions (Loom also has a desktop app yes but still). Chrome extensions are great for some but definitely have their limitations and privacy concerns. For example, they only work in Chrome and now the new Microsoft Edge browser based on Chromium (there will never be Firefox or Safari support). The privacy aspect is that chrome extensions are in fact an extension of your browser running in the background and most of them need full access to view whatever your web browser is looking at at all times they are running.
The other main difference with Screen Recorder is it's free (it'll remain that way, I promise) and there is no requirement to make an account. "Just go to the website and hit record" was kind of the goal of the product. Let me know if you have any other questions! :)
@veebuv The other thing I'd like to call out in addition to it just being a website is it's a PWA meaning you can install it to your desktop with the click of a button in most modern browsers (like Chrome or Microsoft Edge). There's no bulk download process necessary. Just click the "+" install button in the top right of your browser's url bar.
Absolutely love this idea! I wish there was more to control like Resolution, frame rate or maybe some basic trim features. That last one isn't important though. What i'd absolutely kill to see is the ability to take screenshots as well with basic drawing tools. That would be amazing. Great work!
Hey fellow Hunters!
My name is Jaydan and I'm a designer and developer based out of Boise, ID! With more of us working from home than ever due to COVID-19 and social distancing I quickly realized how much of a need there was for a simple screen recorder on the web. That's why I built Screen Recorder (https://screenrecorderapp.com) Although there are great chrome extensions and desktop apps out there I've found nothing really beats the simplicity of a website. It's also a PWA meaning it's installable on Chrome OS, Mac OS, Windows, and Linux.
I'm offering it for free. Yes, FREE. No ads. No watermarks. No limits on how long you can record. Just select the screen, application, or window you want and hit record.
If you appreciate the product please share it with anyone else you know would enjoy it and if you really love it I have a Buy Me a Coffee page @ https://www.buymeacoffee.com/jay...
Happy Hunting!
@jaydanurwin omg thanks 4 making this app! its amazing now i can take videos and put them on yt thatnks to u
Hey everyone, I have some exciting news! Screen Recorder is being rebranded to Snipclip. It's been rebuilt from the ground up and includes the number 1 most requested feature, the ability to record your webcam and screen at the same time. We aren't quite ready to launch Snipclip officially on Product Hunt separately but we're working on a whole lot more than the best web-based screen recorder. Follow us on Twitter and Instagram to be the first to hear about it.

Hey !!
Nice Work !!.. truely amazing, so clean and so simple..
had a question:
I was trying to record a video from youtube..
that didnt work.. I think thats not possible for now ryt?
otherwise it works so cool!!
@naitik_shah Thanks for the compliments Naitik! It should be able to record whatever is currently on the screen being recorded. Do you mean it didn't record the audio of the video you were watching inside the recording?
@nateritter Thanks for the question! I realize I needed to make the distinction. It actually only takes audio from a mic right now. There's no support for internal browser audio at the moment. I've been prospecting the possibility of this but I'm not sure all browsers support it quite yet.
I did just push out an update that highlights the audio being recorded is from a microphone though. I hope that helps!
