pear-rec is a free, open-source, cross-platform desktop application for taking screenshots and recording screen video, webcam video, and audio. Built with Electron, React, Vite, and WebCodecs/WebRTC, it bundles capture, annotation, GIF creation, and image/video viewing in a single app and also ships a web version.
Use cases
- take annotated screenshots with shapes, brushes and a color picker
- record my screen as a video
- record audio from my microphone
- capture screen activity as an animated GIF
- record screen and camera footage on Windows, macOS and Linux
- view images and videos in a lightweight built-in player
- free open-source alternative to Snagit or ScreenToGif
When to choose
- You want screenshots, screen recording, audio recording, and media playback combined in one cross-platform desktop app
- You need annotation tools (freehand brush, geometric shapes, magnifier, color picker) during screenshot capture
- You want to record screen activity as MP4 or GIF using open-source software
When to avoid
- You need professional video editing or post-production beyond basic capture and playback
- You need headless or server-side screen capture automation without a GUI
- You need native mobile (iOS/Android) capture support
