Screen recording tools are becoming more and more useful, especially for users who want to create various sorts of educational or promotional content such as courses, demos, presentations, tutorials, and so forth.

There are a lot of advanced and professional screen recording tools out there but usually, they are paid products. Thankfully, there some very good free alternatives as well, one of which is TapeX.

TapeX is a free, cross-platform screen recorder that offers you a series of basic tools for the job.

One of the main advantages of TapeX is that it has no time limits. This means that you can record for however long you want, just as long as you have enough space for the recording. Another great aspect is the fact that it doesn't add watermarks to your recordings.

For a simple and free tool, it must be said, TapeX looks rather gorgeous. The app boasts a black-themed, very minimalist GUI in the form of a vertical toolbar with big buttons and easy-to-access features.

TapeX allows you to add a camera or a microphone to your recordings, which will inevitably bring more professionalism and personal feel to everything you record.

You can also draw and annotate anywhere on your screen (free draw mode, arrows, and even text). These annotations can be freely customized by changing their colors whenever you need to.

From the Settings section, you can change the recording quality (ranging from Normal, Good, all the way up to Best), the output folder, and even select the active screen (if you have multiple screens).

To conclude, TapeX is one of the best free screen recorders you can possibly find. It has no time limits, it doesn't add watermarks to your recordings, you can add and customize annotations, as well as record on multiple screens. All of this while looking like a polished and modern product that feels right at home on both Windows 10 and macOS.
