A free, open-source screen recorder for macOS. Professional-quality recordings shouldn't be behind a paywall. For those who want a quick styled screen recording.
EasyDemo is a macOS-native screen recording application built with Swift and SwiftUI that captures selected windows with custom backgrounds and webcam overlays, producing high-quality local recordings similar to Screen Studio or Loom—but completely free.
Born from the frustration of screen recorders being locked behind paywalls, EasyDemo provides creators, developers, and everyone a styled and quick way to record their screen without subscription fees or usage limits.
The app is designed with an offline-first philosophy—everything is processed locally using Apple frameworks (ScreenCaptureKit, AVFoundation, Core Image). No data leaves your device, ensuring complete privacy and security.
