I created https://screen.studio and it made 30k in first month after releasing it.

It allows you to create beautiful screen recordings in minutes.

Idea: my own pain both individually and when working with team. When you create any kind of app you often need some video of it, either for promo, landing, social media posts, tutorials, etc.

It was always taking way too long and was quickly getting outdated as app UI changes quickly.

Then I have seen stripe profile on Twitter and their promo videos and thought "how much of this video could be done automatically basing only on mouse movement and clicks info" and boom.

As a good entrepreneur I started by getting a domain of course. I got a really good one - screen.studio so I had to instantly start working on MVP




This looks great. I'm currently working on some screencasts on technical topics. Is this suited for something like that? These are videos of 30-60 minutes length, a lot of time spent in terminal, editor, web pages. Or is this really meant more for product glamour shot type videos?


Currently it might not be great for that just because of performance issues it could have when auto generating 30 minutes long animation. Tho it is on my radar as it is relatively common use case


Got it, thanks for the reply


Brilliant! I spent so long looking for a screen recording app that could simply follow the mouse and zoom automatically. Thought of building this myself. Good job executing on it so well. Will probably be a customer soon :)


Thank you!


Awesome! I absolutely like the way videos move.

How did you market this app?


How do you deal with heavyweight competition like Camtasia?
