Free, better than Screen Studio created for my own start-up

My name is John and I develop audio plugins at TemeculaDSP.com

I created screen.cam because I wanted my own Screen Studio style screen recorder to create product demos with the following features

  1. Descript style transcript editing editing
  2. YouTube Upload with AI generated titles / descriptions / chapter markers
  3. Text overlays
  4. No subscription fees

I think I'm close to nailing it. screen.cam uses newer Swift APIs so it runs lighter with less memory. It renders about 2-3x faster than Screen Studio

Here is a video I put together for one of my plugins:

Here is a demo that shows how I made it.

Thanks for looking!

What's the biggest career problem AI still hasn't solved?

I've been thinking about how weird the career space has become.

We have AI that can generate code, write essays, and summarize research, yet millions of people are still navigating their careers with a combination of guesswork, job boards, random LinkedIn advice, and YouTube videos.

Most people don't actually know:

  • What skills they're missing
  • Whether they're truly ready for a role
  • Why they keep getting rejected
  • What they should focus on next

It feels like we've optimized everything except helping people make better career decisions.

Curious what this community thinks about what's one career problem you wish AI would solve that current tools still get wrong?

I built a tool that turns messy founder thoughts and AI chats into tickets/workflows. Trying to validate if this is actually useful.

Founder disclosure: I built this.

I’ve been working on a tool for founders who have too many scattered ideas, AI chats, screenshots, notes, customer requests, and “I should do this later” thoughts.

The basic idea:

Instead of manually turning everything into a project board, you can dump messy inputs into the app and organize them into Papers, Tickets, and simple Workflows.

One thing I’m testing is a plugin-based flow:

- import or capture ChatGPT / Claude conversations

- archive them into the right Paper or Ticket

- turn useful parts of multiple chats into a basic workflow

- keep the underlying data open as JSON so it is not locked inside the app

- let people use their own AI tools/API where possible, instead of forcing another expensive AI layer

The problem I’m trying to validate:

As a founder, I don’t think I only have a “task management” problem. I have an input chaos problem.

Useful thinking is spread across:

- ChatGPT threads

- Claude chats

- customer notes

- random product ideas

- bug reports

- launch plans

- screenshots

- half-written docs

The hard part is deciding what should become a ticket, what belongs in a workflow, what should be archived, and what is just noise.

I’m building this mostly for solo founders and tiny teams who do not want a heavy PM system, but still need a way to turn raw thinking into execution.

I’m not sure yet if this is a real pain or just my own workflow being messy.

Curious:

Do you already have a system for turning messy founder thoughts / AI chats into actual tickets and workflows?

If yes, what do you use?

If no, where does this usually break for you?
