What does ScreenFlow sell today?

Telestream's overview calls ScreenFlow "built exclusively for Mac". The store says "ScreenFlow 10 is currently supported on macOS Sequoia and macOS Sonoma." The Stock Media Library is sold separately on an annual basis, and "Stock Media Library subscription purchases and/or renewals are non-refundable." Read the live price on the store page.

The overview lists no agent editing.

What do you get on the ScreenKite timeline?

Back then I couldn't make the edits I needed in Screen Studio, so the clip went to Final Cut, the cuts were fixed, the animations broke, and the clip was exported again. Two tools, two payments, one afternoon gone.

ScreenKite keeps the recording and the edit in one project:

• Record the screen, the microphone and system audio on your Mac.
• Cut on a multi-clip timeline. Import extra clips, voiceover and images.
• Ask your own agent to cut dead air or place captions. The ScreenKite AI fee is $0.
• Export a local MP4. Exports are lightning fast, in our tests and in user feedback.

It is a full editor built in, so there is no need for a separate editor.

How is ScreenKite built?

ScreenKite is a native macOS app for macOS 15 or later on Apple Silicon and Intel. It ships a native Windows Beta. The editor exposes 83 purpose-built editing tools, shaped by tens of thousands of hours of video-editing practice. You and your agent use the same tools, so you can undo an agent edit just like your own.

Any downsides? The only downside is there's almost no downside, because we're video creators ourselves and know what users need.

ScreenKite runs natively on macOS and ships a native Windows Beta. It's lightning fast, in our tests and in user feedback, and you edit on the timeline with the AI agent you already use: Claude Code, ChatGPT Codex, Antigravity, Grok Build or Kimi. Describe the cut, and the agent does the trims.
