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
