See why Linux creators choose Screenix for polished recordings.
Three reasons developers and creators choose Screenix
Kazam records your screen with no frills, what you see is what you get, with zero zoom or focus effects, Screenix tracks your cursor and creates professional smooth zooms automatically, making your tutorials and demos stand out
Kazam was built for X11 and has never gained Wayland support, leaving users on modern Ubuntu, Fedora, Manjaro, and other distros without a working recorder, Screenix supports both display servers so you can record no matter your setup
Kazam development has slowed compared with modern Linux desktop changes, Screenix is actively developed with regular updates, new features, and dedicated Linux support
Kazam offers basic recording with no way to add a webcam overlay or highlight your cursor for viewers, Screenix includes camera overlay and cursor overlay out of the box, perfect for professional tutorials and presentations
While Kazam is free, it requires additional tools and manual editing to produce polished videos, Screenix offers a $89 lifetime license and saves hours of post-processing with automatic zoom effects and a professional finish in one take
Screenix runs natively on Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, Arch, Manjaro, Linux Mint, and CachyOS, no Wine, no workarounds, just native performance.
