OpenStudio

Create polished screen recordings with an open, customizable desktop workflow.

What OpenStudio Does

Capture a full display or a selected window.
Record microphone audio, system audio, and optional webcam.
Use live webcam controls (shape, size, position, mirror, blur).
Edit with trim ranges, speed ranges, and zoom regions.
Add annotations (text, images, arrows) on top of your recording.
Customize scene styling with wallpapers, colors, gradients, shadow, blur, and corner radius.
Export to MP4 or GIF in multiple aspect ratios and output sizes.
Save and load project sessions for later editing (.openstudio).

Install dependencies:

npm install

Run development app:

npm run dev

Build desktop packages:

npm run build

Platform-specific builds:

npm run build:mac
npm run build:win
npm run build:linux

System audio capture relies on Electron desktop capture APIs and may vary by platform:

macOS: Requires screen recording/accessibility permissions. Newer macOS versions may additionally prompt for audio capture permissions.
Windows: Usually works out of the box.
Linux: Best support with PipeWire-based environments.

If macOS blocks launch for an unsigned build:

xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/OpenStudio.app
