I’m a dev lead who is a rusted on Linux user, I’ve always hated that ScreenStudio is Mac only since it’s a great product. Any plans for Linux support? I would love the ability to dem stuff and have it actually look pretty.

The problem is that a lot of the details requires macOS accessibility permissions (identifying active window, measuring cursor movements), so there's non-trivial platform specific code.

For product demos specifically, best bet might be a Chrome-extension-based product like Arcade!

This would be difficult because mouse and window controls are different in X11 and Wayland.
