Open-source licenses

Screen Recorder Rocket is built on open-source software. Here's what we use, and the terms it comes under.

Every component below is under a permissive licence (MIT or ISC). Screen Recorder Rocket ships no copyleft (GPL/LGPL) code at all — video and audio encoding is done by the browser engine's own built-in encoders, so there's no bundled FFmpeg.

Components

Electron MIT

The desktop application shell.

github.com/electron/electron

uiohook-napi MIT

Global mouse and keyboard hook — what lets the Windows app follow your cursor and detect clicks.

github.com/SnosMe/uiohook-napi

gif.js MIT

GIF encoding, in the browser.

github.com/jnordberg/gif.js

fix-webm-duration MIT

Writes the correct duration into WebM files produced by the browser's recorder.

The interface icons throughout the app. Free for commercial use under the permissive ISC licence (no attribution required).
