Screenity review
A capable open-source Chrome recorder with annotations, editing, and sharing.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Screenity is a browser-based screen recorder and video editor for tutorials, product demonstrations, bug reports, and explanatory videos. Its Chrome extension records browser tabs, windows, applications, or the full screen, with optional webcam, microphone, tab-audio, and system-audio capture. Users can add live drawings, blur sensitive information, spotlight the cursor, highlight clicks, and record a custom area. The open-source model and free extension make it a practical fit for Chrome users who want recording tools without a required paid plan.
Pricing is freemium. The free extension has no recording time limit. Pro monthly costs $10 per month, while Pro annual costs $120 per year. Both paid plans add cloud editing, multi-scene videos, sharing links, unlimited 1080p exports, and transcription and captions. The paid web editor also supports captions, layouts, zoom effects, cloud storage, and MP4 export. For buyers focused on editing and distribution, the paid tiers extend Screenity beyond capture into a browser-based video workflow.
Screenity's strongest fit is the Chrome and web ecosystem, with Google Drive support for saving recordings. Its feature set covers capture, annotation, privacy-oriented blur, audio options, editing, captions, and sharing, but platform coverage remains narrow. System-audio capture depends on operating-system support and is unavailable for Mac recordings according to the help documentation. Buyers who need a browser-centered recorder with open-source licensing should consider Screenity; organizations requiring broader native-platform coverage or system-audio support on Mac should choose a different tool.
