A screen recorder for Linux — without the X11 vs Wayland headache.
Screen recording on Linux usually means picking between OBS, SimpleScreenRecorder, kazam, or whatever your distro packages this year. Screendog runs in your browser and uses the Screen Capture API directly.
Wayland and X11 both work
Modern Chromium and Firefox on Linux expose the Screen Capture API on both X11 and Wayland (with PipeWire). Screendog uses whatever your browser provides — you do not have to think about it.
No package manager required
No apt, no dnf, no snap, no flatpak, no AppImage. Open the page, click record. New laptops record on first boot.
Codecs your tracker accepts
Recordings are WebM (VP9 or VP8) by default. Linear, GitHub, Notion, Slack, and Jira all play WebM in their native viewers.
Frequently asked
Will it work on a fresh install?
Yes — any modern Chromium-based browser or Firefox supports the Screen Capture API on Linux.
Audio capture on Wayland?
Microphone capture works everywhere. System audio capture depends on your browser version and PipeWire setup.
