Screen Studio for Linux? Use Lumen.
Screen Studio has never shipped for Linux. Lumen is the Screen Studio alternative for Linux x86_64 - automatic zooms, a camera bubble, a lumen CLI, and polished exports from a one-line curl install.
Why Lumen on Linux
First-class Linux support. Built for Linux desktops from day one, not a Mac port. Ideal for engineers who live in Linux and still want polished demos.
CLI + launcher. Install drops a launcher and a lumen command on your PATH so recording fits a terminal-first workflow.
Local by default. Recordings stay on your machine. Cursor and click tracking for zooms never leaves the device.
Install note. One curl command installs a launcher and a lumen command on your PATH.
How to get started
- Install with curl. Run the Linux install command from the homepage. You get a launcher and the lumen CLI.
- Capture screen or window. Choose what to record, optionally turn on the camera bubble, and work as usual while Lumen follows the pointer.
- Export. Stop with Ctrl+Shift+2, tweak zooms if you want, and export a shareable video.
