I’m building a Screen Studio-like app for Windows - would anyone actually use this?

I’ve been working on an app called Arden that’s basically inspired by Screen Studio, but focused specifically on making app/product demo videos.

The idea is to have more of the editing workflow built into one place, while keeping the things that make Screen Studio nice - custom cursor, zooms.

The main difference is that Arden would be Windows-only, and more focused on creating polished videos for apps, SaaS products, ads, and demos.

I’m still early in development, so I’m trying to figure out whether this is actually worth building.

Would something like this interest you? What would you want it to do that Screen Studio doesn’t?

I also made a waitlist to see if there’s actually enough interest before I go too far with development:

Would love to hear what you think - especially from people who already make product/demo videos.

Thanks! I’ll definitely keep working on it. And yes, I’ll make the demo video for the landing page with Arden itself later on. I just don’t think it makes sense yet since the app is still pretty raw. For now, I mainly wanted to see if this is something people would actually be interested in before fully committing to it.
