Hi everyone!
My name is Ethan, and I’m a developer based in the SF Bay Area.
Here is my Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ethanjyx/
Here is my github: https://github.com/ethanjyx
I launched Tight Studio a year ago as a paid app. Since then it won Product of the Day on ProductHunt and grew to thousands of users.
I've watched a wave of vibe-coded screen recorders pop up with lifetime deals, and it's anyone's guess whether they'll still be maintained a year from now.
Today we decided to take Tight Studio most of capabilities free. No lifetime deal, just free forever. We do offer some unique capabilities to monetize to sustain our development, but we want to keep the free tier as generous as possible.
For whatever you need in Screen Studio, it's all free in our product, except sharable links which has server costs.
Problem:
Tight Studio turns rough screen recordings into polished product demos, tutorials, and walkthroughs. You record your screen, and the editor handles the smooth zooms, fluid cursor movement, captions, and even the voiceover.
Comparison:
Screen Studio:
For whatever you need in Screen Studio, it's all free in our product, except sharable links which has server costs.
We are more feature rich and move much faster than them. The reason I started Tight Studio is because there are many missing features I see in Screen Studio, such as adding intro/outro slides, adding text annotations, adding voice over, etc.
Open-source newcomers (Recordly, Openscreen): promising, but early-stage. Tight Studio has been shipping for a year, won Product of the Day on ProductHunt, and is battle-tested by thousands of users. If you need something more stable for production use cases, give us a try.
Pricing:
Again, for whatever you need in Screen Studio, it's all free in our product, except sharable links which has server costs. The core editing and recording features are free forever. Yes we do want to keep it as generous as possible forever.
Optional paid tiers to sustain our development, for power users and business teams (unlimited multi-clip recording, unlimited share links, AI voiceover) start at $19/mo: https://tight.studio/#pricing (Pricing up to adjustment)
