Built by a teacher, in India, for teachers.

I teach DaVinci Resolve colour grading. I record my classes, and each class runs one to three hours. Screenlark is the screen recorder I wished I had, so I built it.

The problem I kept running into

A class is the easy part. The trouble starts after you press Stop.

• The crash fear. Two hours into a lesson you wonder whether the file will still be there. Every long recording carries that small worry.
• Hunting for mistakes. A retake, a long pause, an “umm”. Finding and cutting them by hand took hours for every class.
• Tiny screens. I work on an ultrawide monitor. On a student’s phone, the panels shrank until nobody could read them, so I zoomed in by hand, again and again.
• Hindi subtitles. My students think in Hindi. Typing subtitles line by line cost more time than the class itself.
• “Sir, which shortcut did you press?” The same question in every comment section. The answer flew past on screen and nobody saw it.
• Import problems. Some recordings reached DaVinci Resolve with the audio out of sync.

None of this is teaching. It is work that sits between a good class and a good video.

What I decided

I did not want another tool that shows my screen, sends it to a server and bills me for minutes. I wanted a recorder that does the boring parts by itself and lets me get back to teaching:

• It keeps recording safe, so a crash does not take the class with it.
• It zooms smoothly to wherever I click, and shows the shortcuts I press.
• It makes Hindi and English captions on my own computer.
• It finds silences and mistakes, and it exports for YouTube, Reels or DaVinci Resolve.
• It works offline. No account. No upload. My students’ classes stay on my PC.

Every feature in Screenlark exists because a real class needed it. If something is missing for yours, tell me. Your feedback goes straight to me, and the next version is built from it.

Why “Made in India” matters to me

A lot of India teaches online now: colour grading, accounts, coding, school subjects, music. We pay in dollars for tools designed for someone else’s internet and someone else’s language. Screenlark speaks Hindi and English, handles long classes, and its prices are in rupees. It is built here, and it is built for how we teach.
