I Built a Free AI Screen Recorder That Auto-Edits Your Videos

Every content creator knows the pain: you spend 3-5 hours editing a 10-minute screen recording. Cropping dead space, adding zooms, fixing transitions... it's tedious, it's boring, and it eats your life.

I built AI Screen Recorder to fix exactly that. It's a free, open-source tool that records your screen AND auto-edits the result — cropping active regions, adding smart transitions, and highlighting clicks automatically.

What it does

🎯 Auto-crop & zoom — detects the active region of your screen and crops automatically
✨ Smart transitions — one-click professional transitions (fade, zoom, slide)
🖱️ Click detection — highlights mouse clicks and scrolls automatically (perfect for tutorials)
💻 Cross-platform — works on Windows, Mac, and Linux
🆓 100% free & open source — no watermarks, no subscriptions, no catch

Why open source?

Most tools in this space are expensive ($15-30/month) and platform-locked. Screen Studio, for example, charges $29/mo and only works on Mac. I believe great recording tools should be free and available everywhere.

That's why the entire project is MIT-licensed and hosted on Vercel + GitHub Pages — zero cost to run, zero cost to use.
