    I recently bought ScreenKite after 1 year of free use. It's an avant-garde product in this recording space. I have used plenty of screen recording tools, but ScreenKite covers everything. And the best part is that they keep up with innovation. Your tool never feels outdated.

    @screenkite_com is such a goated app! far better than screen studio, and most of the features are free too

    Ggagan@gagan_buildsX

    also s/o @screenkite_com. replaced Screen Studio with it and it's been great so far

    NNoah@noahliskX

    glad i discovered @screenkite_com and never looked back! native, faster & free.

    Nnik@realNirajKX

    I've been using it since the beta, and it keeps getting smoother. All of AndroMeld's promo videos are edited with it. There are a lot of thoughtful touches.

    I just saw hyperframe. This may make this tool so dreamy for me, literally so powerful. To be honest, I am loving it every day.

    MAMuhammad Abdullah Khan@BuildInBitsX

    I really like your tool, so i am going to stick with you guys. I have been using screenkite for the videos on my X page

    VKVictor Kildahl@VictorKildahlX

    I just bought @screenkite_com. I was already using it for free, but they just released a paid version without watermarks.

    TToledo@itxtoledoX

    This time I used @screenkite_com by indie developer @mike_chong_zh. It works great. If you're interested, go support it.

    05 · How it is built

    The parts nobody shows you.

    Most of this is normal engineering. Nobody else tells you about it.

    Native Swift and Metal

    One codebase for macOS only, on the hardware encoder. That is where the 3x faster export comes from.

    Transcription on your Mac

    WhisperKit runs on Apple Silicon. Your audio does not leave the Mac unless you turn on cloud transcription.

    83 agent tools, each with a dry run

    The agent proposes, you see the change, then it commits. A wrong edit is stopped before it lands.

    Signed and notarized

    Developer ID, Apple notarization, Sparkle EdDSA updates. macOS checks every build before it runs.

    06 · Who ships with it

    Built for people with something to show.

    Marketers

    Product demos and launch videos. No video skills needed.

    record → agent cuts → ship in 10 min

    Developers

    Bug reports, PR walkthroughs and changelog clips, straight from the terminal.

    $ screenkite agent export --json

    07 · Questions

    Is ScreenKite really free?

    Recording and editing are free. Export with a watermark at no charge. Pro is one payment of $79.99 for 3 Macs, $99.99 later. Not a subscription.

    How is ScreenKite faster than Screen Studio?

    ScreenKite is native Swift on macOS and exports on the hardware encoder. The same 4K recording exports 3x faster than in Screen Studio.

    Do I pay for AI?

    No. ScreenKite exposes its editor to the agents you already use — Claude Code, Codex, Grok, Kimi. Usage is billed to your own plan; we never charge an AI fee.

    What Mac do I need?

    macOS 15 and later on Intel and Apple Silicon. On-device WhisperKit transcription needs Apple Silicon. Intel Macs use ElevenLabs cloud transcription.

    Is my data private?

    Recordings and edits stay local on your Mac unless you share them. Optional cloud transcription and AI providers receive only what the feature you start needs.

    02 · Your AI edits it

    "Cut the pauses, zoom on every click, export for YouTube."

    Type that to Claude Code, Codex, Grok or Kimi. The agent runs it inside ScreenKite: transcript cuts, zooms, B-roll, captions, export. It works like a professional editor sitting next to you. It costs nothing extra. Usage bills to the plan you already have. ScreenKite has no AI fee.
