Ocula is the Knott Dynamics screen recorder package built around xdg-desktop-portal capture and GStreamer output.
Ocula is part of the Knott Dynamics public software line. Ocula is the Knott Dynamics screen recorder package built around xdg-desktop-portal capture and GStreamer output.
What It Does
Ocula packages a Linux screen recording workflow around xdg-desktop-portal and GStreamer. It publishes ocula and oculo binary entry points so users can install the recorder from crates.io and follow public package metadata.
Why It Matters
Screen recording is fragile when capture, permissions, and output paths are implicit. Ocula keeps the public package centered on portal-backed capture and standard Linux media plumbing so the recorder has a durable operational path.

Operator Notes
- Use Ocula on Linux desktops where portal-backed capture is the right permission boundary.
- Keep GStreamer availability visible when diagnosing recording or output behavior.
- Use the versioned release page to track rapid 0.1.x package movement from the first public recorder drop.
Release Shape
The current public build tracks Ocula v0.1.32, 493 package downloads, and 31 published versions.
