Quickcast: 1-click screen recorder, instant screenshots & cloud share

👋 Hi Product Hunt community! I'm the maker of QuickCast. Like many makers, developers, and designers, I was tired of two extremes in the screen recording world: 1. Bloated cloud apps that force you into $15–$30/month recurring subscriptions, cap your recordings with artificial paywalls, and take forever to upload. 2. Clunky desktop software that requires huge downloads, complex configurations, and lacks instant sharing. I built QuickCast to be the fastest, simplest, and most respectful capture tool for daily work. Everything runs directly inside your browser using client-side WebRTC and Canvas compositing—no external native software, no forced signups, and zero background trackers. ⚡ What makes QuickCast special: * 📸 Instant Screenshots (Alt + S): Capture pristine PNG screenshots of any tab or active canvas straight to your clipboard and Downloads with one keystroke. * 🎥 Screen & Tab Recording: Record full desktop, specific application windows, or browser tabs in crisp 60fps. * 📷 Circular Webcam Bubble: Draggable, circular webcam overlay with real-time video compositing. * ⏱️ 3-Second Pre-Flight Countdown: Gives you time to prepare your screen before recording rolls. * 🎙️ Push-to-Talk / Quick Mic Mute (Alt + P): Silence ambient noise, keyboard clicks, or coughs mid-take without stopping the recording. * 🔔 Aviation Cockpit Chimes: Web Audio API synthesized departure/descent tones give you instant acoustic confirmation that recording has started or ended. * 🎬 Cinematic Clean Frame (Alt + C): Hide webcam and telemetry overlays mid-recording for pristine slide presentation shots. * ☁️ 1-Click Cloud Sharing + 📱 Mobile QR: Uploads directly to Cloudflare R2 edge storage and auto-copies a watch link to your clipboard. Viewers can scan a dynamic SVG QR code to watch on their phones instantly with zero app install. 🛡️ Privacy & Architecture: QuickCast processes video and audio locally in memory. Your webcam feed and audio stay on your device unless you choose to hit "1-Click Cloud Upload". Try it out free—I’d love to hear your feedback, bug reports, and what feature we should build next! 🚀
