Recordock v0.1.0

Recordock v0.1.0 is the first public release of Recordock, a local-first Chrome screen recorder.

Recordock lets you record a browser tab, application window, or complete monitor using Chrome’s native screen-sharing interface. Recordings are processed locally in the browser and can be previewed and downloaded as WebM files.

Privacy

Recordock is designed as a local-first screen recorder.

Recordings are created and processed locally inside Chrome. The latest recording and temporary recording-session information may be stored locally in browser extension storage so Recordock can restore its state and provide preview and download functionality.

Recordock does not transmit recordings, captured audio, browsing activity, or recording metadata to developer-operated servers.

Privacy policy:

Chrome Permissions

Recordock requests only the permissions required for its recording workflow:

  • offscreen — keeps the recording process running after the extension popup closes
  • storage — preserves temporary recording state and restores the latest locally saved recording

Recordock does not declare host permissions and does not request general access to every website.
