Today, we're launching ScreenKite 1.0 on Uneed. Screen Recording & Video Editing Made Easy & Fast. Building a better Screen Studio and Loom (2~3x exporting speed, link sharing, flexible camera layout, HDR, AI Agent video post-production editing)
As a builder also a YouTuber, I really want a native and fast screen recorder because it usually takes me a lot of time recording and editing. Screen Studio and Loom are great but it slow as Electron apps.
Today, ScreenKite is almost fully feature complete compared with Screen Studio and Loom, but faster, with GPU-accelerated export, and free.
Furthermore, ScreenKite also have AI auto editing features to bring more powerful workflows with your favorite AI tools like Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, and Gemini CLI. We're also building CapCut / FireCut like experience in ScreenKite but it runs locally without risking your data.
Soon, you will be able to edit videos using simple natural language. With ScreenKite AI agent skills, you can just say what you want and it will edit for you. This can save hours when making product demos, tutorials, or sales videos. https://www.screenkite.com/en/guide/agentic-video-editing
Most screen recorders like Loom or Screen Studio are slow and heavy because they rely on Electron and use a lot of resources. Even simple video editing takes too much time, and many apps lock basic features behind paywalls. The result is people spend more time dealing with tools than doing real work.
