Why Self-Hosted

Your videos, your infrastructure.

EU Data Sovereignty

Host in any EU data center. Meet GDPR, Schrems II, and local regulations without relying on US cloud providers.

No Vendor Lock-In

Export your data anytime. Your videos live in standard S3 storage, your metadata in PostgreSQL. No proprietary formats.

Full Control

One Go service with Docker Compose or Helm. No phone-home, no telemetry, and no outbound call to anyone you did not configure yourself.

Your Security Perimeter

Run behind your firewall, VPN, or zero-trust network. Integrate with your existing auth infrastructure.

Features

Everything you need, nothing you don't.

Screen & Camera Recording

Record your screen, camera, or both. Pause, resume, and annotate live.

Automatic Transcription

Every recording transcribed with whisper.cpp locally, or via an OpenAI-compatible Whisper API or Deepgram. AI summaries, chapters, and searchable content.

Instant Sharing

Get a link immediately. Add passwords, email gates, expiry dates, and custom thumbnails.

Viewer Analytics

Track views, completion rates, CTA clicks, and per-viewer engagement.

Custom Branding

Your logo, colors, footer, and CSS. Per-user defaults with per-video overrides.

Team Workspaces

Shared video libraries with role-based access, email invites, and workspace branding.

Comments & Reactions

Timestamped comments and emoji reactions right on the video timeline.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the free tier really free?

Yes. No credit card required, no trial period. You get 25 videos per month with 5-minute max duration, transcription, analytics, and EU data residency — forever.

What happens when I hit the free limit?

You can still access and share all existing videos. New recordings are blocked until the next month resets your quota, or you upgrade to Pro for unlimited recording.

Where is my data stored?

On the managed platform, all data is stored on EU servers — no US cloud providers in the data path. Self-hosted users control exactly where data lives.

Can I switch from managed to self-hosted?

Yes. Videos are stored in standard S3 and metadata in PostgreSQL. You can export and migrate to your own infrastructure at any time with standard tools.

Is SendRec GDPR-compliant?

SendRec is built for GDPR from the ground up: EU-only data residency, no third-party trackers, cookie-free analytics, self-hosted fonts, and open source code you can audit.

What does open source mean for pricing?

Self-hosted SendRec is free with no seat limits. The managed platform and Pro features support continued development. Enterprise features require a paid plan.
