ScreenBadger – Screen Recorder
Free screen recorder. Record a tab, window or screen with mic & webcam, trim, and share. Saved on your device, no account.
ScreenBadger records your screen and keeps the video on your computer.
Choose a browser tab, an application window or the whole display, pick a microphone and a quality level in one small menu, then press Start. A level meter confirms that your voice is being picked up, and a warning appears if the microphone goes quiet during a take. Tab sound can be mixed with your voice where the browser offers it.
An optional webcam bubble and a highlight around the cursor and clicks are drawn on the web page, so they show up in the finished clip. While recording you can pause, resume and add named chapters at key moments.
Footage is written to disk as it goes. If the browser closes unexpectedly, the take can be recovered from the library.
Afterwards, cut out mistakes with the trim editor, which leaves the original file untouched. Download the result, or export a small web page with a player and clickable chapters. Several clips can be gathered into a course with lesson titles and notes.
Keyboard shortcuts start, stop and pause. The settings page covers frame rate, countdown, file format and a dark or light theme.
Everything is stored in your browser on your device. Nothing is uploaded, and there is no account, watermark or time limit.
Try it in a minute
- Click the toolbar icon, then "Open recorder".
- Choose a microphone and quality, press "Start recording", and pick a tab, window or screen in the browser's own picker. The picker has to be clicked by you, so keyboard shortcuts only open the recorder.
- Press "Stop & save". The library opens with the new recording; try Trim, Settings and the course player.
Permissions, in plain words
- storage — saves your settings (recording source, quality, microphone choice, theme) and the webcam bubble position. Nothing leaves the device.
- unlimitedStorage — recordings are video files that can be large, and they are kept in the browser's IndexedDB on your device. Without this permission long recordings would hit the default storage limit.
- scripting — used only while a recording is running with the optional webcam bubble or cursor highlight turned on. It places those overlays on the pages you have open so they appear in the video. No page content is read.
- Optional access to all sites — requested at the moment you turn on the webcam bubble or the cursor highlight, never at install. It is used only to draw those overlays. ScreenBadger does not read, collect or transmit page content.
- Screen, microphone and camera — not manifest permissions. They are requested through the browser's own prompts when you record, and the media is saved only on your device.
Your data stays with you
No remote code, no network requests to any server and no analytics. Recordings, settings and course data live in your browser's storage on your device and are removed if you uninstall the extension or clear its data.
In Firefox
Tab and system audio capture is not available in Firefox, so only the microphone is recorded. Videos are saved as WebM files.
