The challenge
Every implementation handover needs recorded walkthroughs. Existing tools either watermarked the output, uploaded recordings to someone else’s cloud, or charged per seat for features that were not needed.
Objectives
- Record locally with no upload step
- Keep the interface small enough to use mid-call
- Produce files suitable for client documentation
- Run on the machines the team already uses
What we built
A lightweight Electron application that records the screen locally, with a deliberately minimal interface so it can be started in the middle of a client session without becoming the subject of the session.
Technology
Electron · JavaScript · Node.js
How it was delivered
- Electron shell with local-only capture and storage
- Minimal interface designed for mid-call use
- Output settings tuned for readable documentation video
- Cross-platform packaging for the team's machines
- No account, upload or subscription requirement
Outcomes
- Handover walkthroughs are recorded without a third-party service
- Client recordings never leave the machine unless sent deliberately
- No per-seat cost for a tool used a few times a month
- Recordings are consistent enough to reuse as documentation
