Our Story

Built for people who
own their captures.

RecordNest started because every other screen tool was either bloated, over-priced, or held your files hostage. We built something different — fast, private, and yours.

Our Mission

Give creators
full control.

We built RecordNest because every existing screen capture tool was either too bloated, too expensive, or locked your files behind a cloud you didn't control.

RecordNest is a privacy-first Chrome extension that stores everything locally by default. No forced uploads, no subscription just to export, no data harvesting. Your screenshots and recordings belong to you — and only you.

"The best tool is one that gets out of your way and respects your data. That's what RecordNest is built to be."

Our Values

What drives us

Privacy by Default
Everything stays on your device unless you decide otherwise. We designed around privacy, not around monetizing your data.
Speed & Simplicity
Capture in one click. No setup, no tutorial needed. The fastest path from "I need to capture this" to "done."
Honest Pricing
Free plan is genuinely useful. Paid plans unlock real power. No per-seat taxes, no annual-only tricks, no bait-and-switch.
Smart AI Tools
AI that actually saves time. OCR, auto-redact, and transcription — features that justify the "AI" label.
Built with Care
Every pixel is intentional. We ship fewer features and do them well, instead of racing to match competitors.
Global & Accessible
Used in 80+ countries. Built to work everywhere, on any connection speed, on any device that runs Chrome.
