Screen Studio is a macOS-only app — there's no Linux version. Screenray is the Linux-native screen recorder built on the same idea: record your screen and it automatically adds cursor-following zoom, a designed background, and word-perfect captions, then exports a polished demo in one click.
Why people search for this
Screen Studio made automatic, cinematic screen recordings popular on the Mac — auto zoom, soft shadows, gradient backgrounds. But it has never shipped a Linux build, and browser-based recorders don't give you that designed-demo polish. Screenray fills that gap natively on Linux.
What you get
Screenray follows your cursor and pushes in on the action on its own — no keyframes, no manual zoom track.
One click wraps your recording in a designed background, padding, a soft shadow, and rounded corners.
Automatic captions with word-level timing, highlighted as they're spoken — transcribed locally, editable on the stage.
Record webcam, mic, and system audio. Your camera drops into a clean, auto-sized bubble; noise reduction is a toggle.
Everything records and edits on your machine. Nothing is uploaded — even captions run on-device.
Vulkan compositing and hardware encode keep playback smooth and exports fast on any modern GPU.
