Screenity
screenity.io
Free open-source screen recorder Chrome extension with annotation tools and no watermarks.
Why it is useful
Most screen recording tools either add watermarks, have time limits, or cost money. Screenity is fully open-source, records tab or full screen, supports webcam overlay, and exports to MP4 or GIF — no account, no limits.
