The ScreenKite Alternative With Windows, Web & Video Hosting

Looking for a ScreenKite alternative? Tella records on Mac, Windows, and in the browser, with managed video hosting, AI editing, and viewer analytics beyond ScreenKite's free local Mac app.

ScreenKite is a free, native macOS screen recorder with a built-in editor: auto-zoom that follows your clicks, text-based editing, fast Metal-accelerated 4K exports, and agent-driven editing through Claude Code, Codex, or Gemini CLI. It's genuinely quick, and the free app keeps everything local on your Mac — there's no Windows or browser version (Windows is waitlist-only), so sharing from the app means exporting a file and finding somewhere to put it. ScreenKite also has a private-beta Enterprise server with self-hosted filesystem or S3-compatible storage, private and unlisted links, and range-aware playback; it is not a managed hosting service and has no uptime commitment.

Tella covers the other half of the job: it records natively on Mac and Windows and in any browser, hosts every recording instantly with a shareable link and embedded player, and adds AI editing — auto-cut for silences and filler words, auto-zoom, auto-layouts — plus viewer analytics, so you know who watched and how far they got. Plans start at $13/month with a 7-day free trial.

FAQ

Yes. ScreenKite's Mac app is currently free with unlimited local recordings. Its self-hosted Enterprise server is a separate private beta with no published price. Tella is a paid product with a 7-day free trial — the price buys managed hosting, instant share links, analytics, and Windows and browser recording that ScreenKite's free app doesn't have.

No. ScreenKite is macOS-only, with a Windows version on a waitlist. Tella records natively on Mac and Windows and in any browser, including a Chrome extension.

ScreenKite's free Mac app is local-first: recordings stay on your Mac and sharing means exporting a file. Its private-beta Enterprise server supports private and unlisted links from self-hosted filesystem or S3-compatible storage. Tella hosts every recording automatically as a managed service, with an instant share link, embedded player, and viewer analytics.

Tella is the closest all-in-one alternative to ScreenKite: it has the same fast screen-and-camera recording with AI editing and auto-zoom, and adds managed cloud hosting, analytics, and cross-platform apps beyond ScreenKite's free local Mac app and private-beta self-hosted server.
