The complete experience

From record to ready to share.

See the complete Screenix workflow in one short video, from choosing what to record to polishing the result and getting it ready to share.

How it works

Three steps. One smooth flow.

Screenix is designed to help you finish the message, not start a post-production project.

01

Record your message

Capture a screen or window with your camera, microphone, and system audio. Screenix stays out of the way while you explain.

02

Let Screenix polish it

Automatic zooms respond to recorded clicks, cursor motion feels smooth, and your camera sits in a clean, consistent layout.

03

Share a link

Stop recording and send a link people can watch in their browser. Keep it public, add protection, or use your own storage.

Automatic polish

You explain. Screenix directs.

Automatic zooms respond to your clicks and cursor movement stays smooth. Instant mode applies the effect while recording, while the editable workflow lets you review and refine generated zooms before export.

Zooms that follow the story

Recorded clicks guide automatic zooms without manual keyframes.

Cursor motion that feels natural

Screenix smooths captured cursor movement throughout the exported video.

A camera that starts styled

When enabled, your camera gets a clean squircle treatment automatically.

Ready on the first export

Stop and export with zooms and cursor smoothing already applied.

Loved on Linux

Less setup. Better videos.

Creators, developers, and educators use Screenix to make clear recordings without a complicated production stack.

Screenix is the tool I wish existed years ago. Dead simple to use, and the videos come out looking incredibly polished with minimal effort.

Screenix makes it easier to capture, edit and apply effects to the video without using a complicated software pipeline. I use it for online lectures, tutorials, and documentation videos for my apps.

Keith

Lecturer and Developer

I couldn't find good software with reasonable pricing that works on Linux. I found Screenix and loved it.

The speed of the program is great, and it's simple to handle. Finally a proper screen recorder for Linux.

Instant sharing and feedback

A recording is only useful when people can see it and respond.

Finish the recording, copy the link, and keep the conversation moving in the browser. No giant attachment and no viewer install.

A link ready to send

Use Screenix hosting or connect your own S3-compatible storage.

Feedback in context

Collect timestamped comments, replies, and reactions on the video.

Control who gets in

Choose public, password-protected, expiring, or team-only access.

Real Linux support

Linux is the product, not the port.

Screenix is built around the Linux capture stack, package ecosystem, and the way Linux users expect to own their files.

X11 and Wayland

Use direct X11 capture or the desktop screencast portal on documented Wayland setups.

Local by default

Your recording stays on your device unless you choose to share it.

Install Screenix

Pick the package that belongs on your system.

curl -fsSL https://screenix.studio/install | sh

Bring your own R2, AWS, Backblaze, or MinIO storage when you want share links on infrastructure you control.

Editing, when you need it

A safety net, not the workflow.

Instant recordings can go straight from stop to share. When you choose the editable workflow, the tools for refining zooms, pacing, cursor presentation, and camera layout stay in the same app.

Remove a false start or tighten a section without learning a complicated timeline.

Need captions too? Run Whisper locally for searchable transcripts and subtitles without uploading your recording.

Simple pricing

Start free. Choose your path.

Use Screenix hosting, bring your own storage, or keep every recording local.
