01 · Record

Hit record on any tab.

El Ojo captures the active browser tab in full HD. Tab audio mixes with your microphone automatically. Add your webcam as a draggable bubble with background blur, four virtual backdrops, and four levels of subtle beauty touch-up.

02 · Highlight

Draw on screen as you talk.

Cursor spotlight darkens everything but your point — viewers can’t miss it. Pen, arrow and circle tools in four colours. The toolbar collapses out of the way. All marks captured directly in the recording — no post-edit required.

03 · Save & share

Your recording. Your storage.

When you stop, your .webm downloads instantly to your machine. Want a shareable link? Point El Ojo at your own Cloudflare R2 bucket (or any S3-compatible storage) and it generates one. We never host your videos by default. Zero vendor lock-in.

Frequently asked

No fine print.

Is it really free?

Yes. The extension is free forever — no tiers, no watermarks, no time caps. There's no paid upgrade today.

Where are my recordings stored?

On your machine when you click Download. If you want a shareable link, you connect El Ojo to your own Cloudflare R2 bucket (or any S3-compatible storage) — we don't host your videos by default.

How long can I record?

As long as you want. There's no built-in cap. We've tested past three hours in a single session.

Will it slow down my browser?

No. Recording runs in a separate Chrome offscreen document, so the tab you're capturing stays responsive.

Does it record across tabs?

It records the active tab. If you switch tabs, the new one becomes the recording — useful for jumping between tools mid-demo.

Do I need an account?

No signup, no email. Install the extension and hit record.

Which browsers work?

Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc — any Chromium-based browser that supports Manifest V3 extensions.
