PixelCorder

The existence of screen-sharing and video-conferencing apps has almost rendered the necessity of dedicated screen capturing apps almost obsolete, due to their inherent screen recording capabilities. Nevertheless, such apps still manage to thrive, as they offer essential functionality to those who still need screen recording. With a simple approach in mind, PixelCorder will offer users such functionality, in a minimalist, no-hassle package.

There are only three functions available for working with the app and, in all honesty, we believe that that number is ample, considering its scope and the straightforward handling that derives from its simplicity.

One can easily select the entire screen or a designated area for the recording process, initiate it, or stop it, on-demand, and saving the output data is accompanied by a prompt for both the name and location of the resulting file. Standard, tried-and-tested stuff.

Looking a bit at the potential weaknesses and drawbacks, there aren’t too many to address, especially when considering the application’s overall simple demeanor and its intended purpose.

However, if we were to nitpick or, think about those more demanding users and their cravings, it could have been nice for the app to offer a more advanced area selection feature, for active windows and such, as well as more output format settings, which could prove beneficial for those who prefer a particular video format.

With simplicity at its core, this screen recording app manages to provide a really streamlined solution, which has its emphasis revolving around ease-of-use and the efficiency with which users can perform the screen capturing process.
