SnapRec — Lightweight Screen Recorder
SnapRec is a lightweight, open-source screen recorder built in Python with a clean, modern dark GUI. It lets you capture your full screen, a specific browser window, or a custom-drawn area — with or without audio — and produces MP4 files that are ready for YouTube, tutorials, gameplay, presentations, or bug reports.
SnapRec is designed to be simple, fast, and dependency-light. No bloat, no cloud, no account required. Just run it, pick what you want to record, and hit start.

Content creators who want a fast, local recorder without paying for cloud services
Developers who need to capture bug reproductions or demos
Teachers and students recording lectures or tutorials
