Screenray
A native screen-recording studio for Linux — capture your screen, webcam, and mic, then get a polished video with automatic cursor-following zoom, word-level captions, and designed backgrounds. One-click export, $30, own it forever.
The Challenge
Mac users have Screen Studio — press record and get a demo video that looks professionally produced. Linux users had nothing close. Making a polished screen recording on Linux meant capturing raw footage, importing it into a heavyweight video editor, and hand-animating every zoom and pan. For developers and founders shipping product demos from a Linux machine, a two-minute video was an afternoon of work.
Our Solution
We built Screenray from scratch in Rust as a true recording studio, not a capture utility. A system-tray daemon grabs your screen, webcam, and mic on a global hotkey; the editor then does the production work automatically — cursor-following zoom driven by spring physics, word-level captions generated entirely on-device, and a designed "Look" with padding, soft shadows, gradient backgrounds, and rounded corners. The whole pipeline is GPU-first: a wgpu compositor with WGSL shaders and hardware encode/decode keeps styled 1080p playback real-time. One click shares a finished MP4 or GIF — and the optional Sendio companion adds fast, premium cloud video sharing from $2/month, putting a watch link straight on your clipboard.
Results
Automatic cursor-following zoom, word-level on-device captions, and designed backgrounds — zero manual editing
GPU-first Rust pipeline: real-time compositing, hardware encode/decode, spring-animated motion
