Eidete is an application which can record your screen activity and save it to video. It similiar with GTK RecordMyDesktop and Kazaam Screencaster (Linux) or Camtasia Studio (Windows). Eidete is being developed for Elementary project which provides a simple and easy-to-use user interface. By now, Eidete has the following features:

  • encoding to webm
  • selection of the area to be recorded
  • display of the pressed keys
  • audio recording



Eidete is still in its development stage, so there will be a lot features addition or bug fixing in the future. Here are some "todo" of this project:
  • create new contracts for facebook, youtube and others (waiting for gnome-online-accounts to be ready)
  • improve and internationalize the key view
Install Eidete on Ubuntu
Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot and upcoming Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin users can install Eidete easily by typing the following command:
  • sudo add-apt-repository ppa:shnatsel/eidete-daily
  • sudo apt-get update
  • sudo apt-get install eidete
Eidete has simple and easy-to-use interface, so I think there is no difficulties on using this application.

For additional information, I'd like to show you the demo video of Eidete:

Note: Eidete is still under its development stage. You might encounter some bugs and some features have not been implemented yet.
