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. No subscription. 🐧

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. You own it forever — no subscription, and updates are free. One registration code activates Screenray on up to 3 machines. 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?
Completely. Screenray records and edits locally on your machine — nothing is uploaded. Even the automatic captions are transcribed on-device with a local Whisper model.
