Local-first screen direction

Your recording.
Already edited.

Capture the workflow once. Kriya finds the clicks, directs the viewer, and turns raw screen time into a focused product demo.

Recordings stay in the folder you choose.

Comparison notes & sources

Selected workflows, not an exhaustive feature list. Features vary by platform and plan. Checked September 2026.

Private by architecture

Your videos are files.
Not our inventory.

Choose a folder on your Mac. Kriya reads from it and writes back to it. The hosted app has no shared video disk and cannot browse your library.

You choose the folder

Change it any time from the Mac app or browser workspace.

Editing stays local

The desktop app runs its local server and FFmpeg against that folder.

Uploads are explicit

Only a processing action you start may send a working copy to isolated compute.

Record once

Let the demo
direct itself.

Screen, camera, microphone, interaction-aware zooms, and final MP4 export—in one focused Mac app.
