shipping the thing. I want AI to help, and I want to use the agents I already pay for. Most recorders don't let you. Screen Studio and Loom are a tax for a utility. I also don't like subscriptions.

# Comparison

Tella, Loom, and Screen Studio do not have AI like this. We actually went and studied the AI in real video editors, not just recorders. In ScreenKite you can go end to end: record, cut, layout, captions, export a product launch, a tutorial, or a sales demo. You are not dumping a file out of Screen Studio and finishing it in another app.

ScreenKite is local. Plug in the harness you already use. Transcription cuts in the app if you'd rather not touch a terminal.

Tella, Loom, Screen Studio, Charm are Electron. Some of them also edit in the cloud. Our standing goal: about 3x faster than the competition, and 3 to 10x more features. That is the bar we hold ourselves to, so the money you spend is worth it.

The app is dense. Follow us on social and YouTube if you want to find the rest. There is more in here than a recorder with a trim bar.

# Pricing

One-time purchase. I don't like subscriptions, so we are not adding that burden. Buy it once. Everyone is happier.

Founder price: $79.99 once, 3 Macs. We will raise it toward $99.99. Screen Studio is $108/year for new buyers. This is cheaper than that year, and you keep the license.

# FAQs

Q: How do I edit a ScreenKite video with AI?

A: You need a coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Antigravity, Grok Build). Paste our AI Agent setup notes into the tool and ask it to edit, or to record. Most edit flows start from the transcription. Samples: https://github.com/ScreenKite/awesome-ai-video-editing

Q: I already use HyperFrames / Remotion / use-videos with Claude Code. Why ScreenKite?

A: HyperFrames is great and also slow. Don't render the whole video in it. Use ScreenKite as the driver, cut a short HyperFrames clip, drop it in as B-roll. Past about a minute, that split saves both edit time and export time.

Q: Why named ScreenKite?
Kite is like this (image below : ) I think it is similar to your mouse where you can point to something to attract the audience's attention, making your video to standard out.

Best Alternative to Disk Inventory X?

Hi all, I was going to recommend Disk Inventory X to a friend but realized it's not supported on apple silicon. So I wanted to ask the community the question: What is the thing most like it still maintained today? Searching didn't quite get the things I wanted so I was wondering what else is out there.

Watchflows v1.46.0 just released! 🎉

https://youtu.be/ZijVXbPeyCs?si=LHowFcgiKeB1PXj9

Watchflows, https://watchflows.app is the missing visual automation builder for macOS. I'm excited to announce v1.46.0, which lands some cool UX around how you manage your agent and ai nodes in Watchflows.

Watchflows allows you to create n8n like flows, using triggers every mac offers, as well as external triggers via Watchflows Relay and you can use our hosted AI if you don't want to set AI up on your own.

But for those itching to know:

* No accounts Required
* Subscription or One Time purchase options
* Subscriptions include hosted AI usage (using a freshly minted AI key for openrouter, no middle men, we publish the endpoints we hit with each AI provider we support. Subscriptions also include Watchflows Relay, which allows you to trigger flows on your machine from external services like Github or Stripe.
* You can absolutely use the app without any AI at all. Flows can be built fully manually and exclude AI nodes. This keeps the app 100% local.
* No external telemetry that isn't opt in.
* Bring your own LLM via Ollama and inference in your flows is free 😎

Subscriptions start at just $8 / $12 a month, and one time purchase is $49.

To celebrate the launch I created the coupon code below, first 15 checkouts can use this during purchase to get $15 off.
