Capture beautiful screen recordings. Linux native.

Screenray is a screen recorder designed and built for Linux. Like Screen Studio for Mac, it turns plain captures into polished demo videos — automatic cursor zoom, designed backgrounds, motion blur, and word-perfect captions, straight out of the box.

One-time purchase — $30. Optional link sharing from $2/mo. 🐧

At a Glance

Everything in one window.

Automatic zoom

Screenray follows your cursor and pushes in on the action on its own — no keyframes.

The Look

One click wraps your recording in a designed background, padding, soft shadow, and rounded corners.

Word-perfect captions

Auto captions with word-level timing, highlighted as they’re spoken — editable on the stage.

Webcam bubble

Drop your webcam into a clean, auto-sized bubble anywhere on the frame.

Background music

Add a music track and balance levels per clip, right from the Sound panel.

Noise reduction

Clean up mic hiss and room hum with a single toggle.

Crop & reframe

Tighten the visible region after capture — the zoom and Look stay aligned.

GPU end-to-end

Vulkan compositing and hardware encode keep you working and exporting fast.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

How much does Screenray cost?
$30, one-time, for the editor — you own it forever and updates are free. One registration code activates Screenray on up to 3 machines. Cloud link sharing (Sendio) is an optional add-on from $2/month; the editor never needs it. After you buy, the code is waiting in your account.
What if it doesn't work out on my setup?
Try it on your machine — if Screenray doesn't work out within 14 days of purchase, reply to your Stripe receipt email and you'll get a full refund.
Is there a Screen Studio for Linux?
Screen Studio is macOS-only. Screenray is a Linux-native screen recorder built on the same idea: record your screen and it automatically adds cursor-following zoom, a designed background, padding and rounded corners, plus captions — so a raw capture becomes a polished demo. See how Screenray compares → Or jump straight to the feature-by-feature Screenray vs Screen Studio breakdown.
Does Screenray work on Wayland?
Yes — natively. The whole capture flow (recorder toolbar, region select, window pick, webcam preview) runs as native Wayland windows, verified through Ubuntu 26.04 / GNOME 50. On GNOME it captures the exact region you pick with no extra dialog; KDE and wlroots desktops use the standard screen-share prompt.
Do I need an NVIDIA GPU?
No. Screenray runs on any GPU — NVIDIA, Intel, or AMD. FFmpeg is bundled, so there's nothing extra to install. The NVIDIA proprietary driver (525+) is only needed if you're using an NVIDIA card.
Which Linux distributions are supported?
64-bit Ubuntu 24.04+ (verified through 26.04) and Debian 13+, plus their derivatives such as Pop!_OS and Linux Mint. See the install guide →
Can it record my webcam and microphone too?
Yes — screen, webcam, microphone, and system audio. Your webcam drops into a clean, auto-sized bubble, and you can add background music and reduce mic noise from the Sound panel.
Are my recordings private?
Yes — Screenray records and edits locally on your machine, and the automatic captions are transcribed on-device with a local Whisper model. Nothing leaves your machine unless you turn on Sendio sharing, which uploads only the exports you choose to share.
What is Sendio sharing?
Sendio is Screenray’s optional cloud add-on: export a video and the share link lands on your clipboard the moment the upload finishes — no tabs, no drag-and-drop. Plans start at $2/month for a 10 GB video library and 30 GB of monthly viewing, the lowest price we can run the service at. Cancel anytime; links you’ve already shared keep working. Manage it from your account.
