Three reasons developers and creators choose Screenix
Kooha records your screen faithfully, but what viewers see is a static wide shot. Screenix tracks your cursor and generates smooth, cinematic zooms automatically — no editing software, no keyframes, no extra steps.
Kooha offers no cursor highlighting or webcam support. Screenix keeps your cursor front and center and lets you add a camera overlay in one click — giving your tutorials and demos the professional touch they deserve.
With Kooha you still need a video editor to add zooms, highlights, and polish. Screenix produces ready-to-publish recordings in a single take, saving you hours of editing time for every video you make.
Kooha is free and open source, making it a solid choice for basic screen capture on GNOME. However, it has no zoom effects, no cursor tracking, and no camera overlay. Screenix costs $5.99/month (or $39 lifetime) and delivers automatic smooth zooms and professional results out of the box — no editing required.
No. Kooha is a minimal recorder with no automatic or manual zoom effects. To add zooms you would need to import your recording into a separate video editor and animate them manually. Screenix generates smooth, cursor-following zooms automatically during recording.
Use Kooha if you need a lightweight, free recorder for simple screen captures on GNOME. Use Screenix if you want polished tutorials, demos, or presentations with automatic zoom effects, cursor highlighting, and camera overlay — all without touching a video editor.
Yes, Screenix supports Wayland on Linux, just like Kooha. You can record on modern GNOME and KDE Wayland sessions without any extra configuration.
Yes, Screenix offers a 7-day free trial with full video exports — no credit card required. Record a few videos and compare the results with Kooha to see the difference automatic zooms make.
