About
A chameleon with a camera.
Kamo started from a simple annoyance: screen recordings look bad, and making them look good takes an editor and an hour. So we made the recorder do the editing.
Why a chameleon?
A chameleon locks one eye on its target and hits the exact spot with its tongue. That's what Kamo does with every click. It also changes color with the wallpaper, as you may have noticed. And in Japanese, kamo (鴨) means duck, which made the mascot even friendlier there.
Why it's free
Recording, editing and exporting happen on your computer and cost nothing to run, so the app is free and complete. Only the optional Kamo Cloud will be paid, because storing and serving videos costs money.
Download →Why it's open source
A screen recorder sees everything. You should be able to check what it does with that. Kamo is MIT-licensed: read the code, audit the network calls, fork it.
