A developer decided to recreate Screen Studio — yes, the Mac-exclusive screen recording app that costs $30 a month — directly in the browser.
The result? Screen Now, a fully free web-based screen recorder that could very well shake up the entire industry.
For those unfamiliar with Screen Studio, it’s considered one of the best screen recorders for macOS. It’s known for its smooth animations, automatic zooms, and elegant 3D transitions — perfect for professional-looking demo videos and tutorials.
Its main drawbacks? The steep price tag and the fact that it’s exclusive to Mac users.
That’s where Screen Now comes in. It brings nearly all those premium features to the web — no downloads, no account creation, and completely free. Just open Google Chrome (sorry, no Firefox support yet), visit the site, and start recording your screen.
🔹 Packed with Pro-Level Features
Don’t let its simplicity fool you — Screen Now is loaded with powerful features:
- 3D screen view with adjustable perspective, rotation, and angles — just like in high-end video tools.
- Customizable entry and exit animations (fade, slide, pop).
- Background uploads (PNG, JPG, WebP) plus a built-in gallery of presets.
- Enhanced zooming with an interactive timeline for precise control.
- Picture-in-Picture mode for webcam overlay, with background blur effects.
- Audio capture from both system and microphone, with automatic mixing.
- Custom text overlays and video cropping with aspect ratio control.
- Keyboard shortcuts for faster editing and navigation.
The built-in timeline editor even supports element duplication, making editing more intuitive.
🔹 Lightning-Fast and Technically Polished
The developer clearly knows what they’re doing — rendering speed has been boosted tenfold since early builds, audio-video sync issues are 99% fixed, and the app now runs as a PWA (Progressive Web App). That means you can install it on your computer like a native app while keeping all the convenience of a web tool.
Auto-save uses your browser’s local storage, allowing multiple projects to be managed simultaneously. Exports are available in MP4 or GIF, with adjustable quality and resolution.
Oh, and for that extra touch of personality — you can even choose circular, square, or rectangular camera frames.
🔹 A Game-Changer for Creators
Whether you’re recording a quick tutorial, a product demo, or a tech fix walkthrough, Screen Now gives you all the tools you need — directly in your browser and completely free.
