Local screen recorder - no upload to Lumen

Your recordings stay on your machine. Lumen processes zooms, camera and exports locally.

Details

Some screen tools send media to the cloud for editing. Lumen’s model is local-first: capture and polish happen on your computer.

Account sign-in (Google or GitHub) is only for Premium entitlement. Cursor and click positions used for zooms are processed locally and are not sent to Lumen for storage.
