CLUSTER SCREEN-VIDEO-DESKTOP · 15 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2023-08-20

Screen recording desktop apps

The cluster consists of desktop applications for capturing screen content as video, images, or GIFs, including features like window or region capture, audio and camera input, and teleprompter mirroring. The dated history before the index start includes only 4 entries, too thin to read a shape from, so it likely predates the index or has undated members. Among traction leaders, rbox leads with 9 stars, followed by OpenPromptr with 1 star and RecordScreen with 0 stars.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
