Figures from each repo's GitHub metadata at analysis time.
Screenity is a free, privacy-focused screen recording extension for Chrome browsers. It lets you record your entire screen, a specific browser tab, a selected region, or your camera, and captures both microphone audio and internal system audio. Because it runs entirely in your browser with no account required and does not send data to any server, it keeps your recordings private by default. Beyond basic recording, Screenity includes an annotation toolset: you can draw on screen, add text, arrows, and shapes while recording, blur out sensitive content on any webpage, highlight cursor clicks, and use spotlight mode to focus viewer attention. A built-in editor lets you cut, trim, crop, add or remove audio tracks after recording. You can zoom into specific parts of the screen smoothly and set up countdown timers or alarms to control when recording starts and stops. Finished videos can be exported as MP4, GIF, or WebM files, or saved directly to Google Drive for easy sharing. The extension can also be self-hosted from source for full local-only use with no external connections. An optional paid tier called Screenity Pro, hosted in the EU, adds features like link sharing, multi-scene editing, zoom keyframes, and captions. The source code is available under the GPLv3 license.
