Overview:
Screenity is a free and privacy-focused screen recorder extension for Chromium-based browsers. It allows users to record tabs, specific areas, desktops, applications, or camera feeds without limits on recording length or quantity. Designed for tasks like creating product demos, tutorials, presentations, and team feedback, Screenity emphasizes user privacy by not collecting data and offering an offline mode. It is available as a Chrome extension and can be self-hosted for local-only use, making it suitable for individuals who want a capable recorder without sign-in requirements or data tracking.
Core Features:
Unlimited recording: Record your tab, a specific area, desktop, any application, or camera without length or quantity restrictions.
Annotation tools: Draw anywhere on the screen, add text, arrows, shapes, and more during recording.
Audio and camera controls: Record microphone or internal audio with push-to-talk support; use AI-powered camera backgrounds or blur.
Editing capabilities: Remove or add audio, cut, trim, or crop recordings with a built-in editor.
Zoom and focus: Zoom in smoothly during recordings and highlight clicks and cursor with spotlight mode.
Privacy and export: Record offline, blur sensitive content, and export as mp4, gif, or webm, or save directly to Google Drive.
Use Cases:

Self-hosting the extension for personal, educational, or internal use where no data is sent externally.
Why It Matters:
Screenity offers a free, privacy-conscious alternative to screen recorders that often impose time limits or require accounts. Its ability to run fully offline when self-hosted ensures recordings stay local, with no API calls or data collection. The tool is well-suited for users who need a straightforward recorder with annotation and basic editing—without the overhead of sign-in, cloud storage, or feature bloat common in commercial extensions.
