A Tella alternative for engineers who don't need a video studio.
Tella is a gorgeous tool — animated layouts, branded backgrounds, multi-camera scenes. Screendog is the opposite of gorgeous on purpose. We strip recordings down to evidence.

The right tool for the right output
A Tella recording goes into a tweet, a landing page, or a YouTube short. A Screendog recording goes into a Linear ticket. Both are valid jobs; they are not the same job.
Why Screendog skips the editor
Engineering recordings have a half-life of about 24 hours — fix the bug, close the ticket, the recording is done. Spending five minutes adding scene transitions to a recording that exists for one day is the wrong trade.
Frequently asked
Can I use Screendog for product launches?
You can, but Tella will produce a more polished output for that use case. Screendog has no scene transitions, branded backgrounds, or zoom-in animations.
Is there an editor at all?
No. Recordings are kept exactly as captured. Trim and re-record if you need a clean take.
