> Note on origins: Recordly is a hard fork of the excellent [**OpenScreen**](https://github.com/siddharthvaddem/openscreen) foundation by [Siddharth](https://x.com/sidious_man), which is focused on robustness and a stable feature set. Recordly focuses on a different product direction - i.e. adding cursor animations, Apple-inspired zoom animations, smoother panning - and aims to reach full feature parity with Screen Studio.
