Cap

Cap is an open-source screen recording app designed for fast visual communication. It combines screen recording, screenshot capture, editing, hosting, and sharing workflows in one tool, making it a modern alternative to Loom.

Users can record locally, share when they choose, create polished recordings, capture screenshots, collaborate asynchronously with comments and reactions, and generate transcripts, titles, summaries, and chapters with Cap AI. Cap also supports custom storage through S3, Cap Cloud, local-only workflows, and self-hosting for teams that want full control over their recordings.

Cap offers native desktop apps for macOS and Windows, with a free personal version, a Desktop License for commercial use, and Cap Pro for cloud sharing and collaboration features.
