Screenity

Screenity is a free Chrome extension that lets you record your screen, camera, or both simultaneously. It captures everything happening on your display while allowing you to draw annotations directly on the page during recording. The tool includes basic editing features like trimming, cropping, and audio adjustments, and exports videos without watermarks or time limits.

What makes Screenity stand out is its privacy-focused approach and open-source nature. Unlike many screen recorders, it doesn't collect any user data and stores recordings locally by default. The extension offers drawing tools for real-time annotation, camera effects, blur options, and timers. For users needing more advanced features, there's an optional Pro version with cloud storage and multi-scene editing.

Screenity works best for educators creating tutorials, developers demonstrating software features, and professionals recording presentations. It's particularly useful for those who need to provide visual feedback or create instructional content without worrying about recording limits or privacy concerns. The tool requires no account creation for the free version and integrates with Google Drive for easy sharing.
