Question 1

What's the difference between the desktop app and Chrome extension?

Accepted Answer

Both work identically for screen recording and guide creation. The key difference: the desktop app can capture screen and guide steps from your browser OR any other desktop application, and allows area selection of the screen. The Chrome extension has the same features but is limited to capturing steps within the browser only. The mobile apps let you record your screen on mobile with narration.

Question 2

Can I try Kommodo without downloading anything?

Accepted Answer

Yes! You can try our browser-based screen recorder. It requires no download or account and lets you record instantly. However, recordings are temporary - you need to download them to keep them, and they won't be saved to your library. For ongoing use with automatic library storage, we recommend the desktop app.

Mac: macOS 11.0 or later. Windows: Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit). The app requires approximately 200MB of disk space and works best with 8GB+ RAM.
