What is Cap?
Cap is an open source screen recorder and sharing tool for Mac, Windows, and Linux, aimed at teams and creators who send screen recordings. It offers Instant Mode for quick recordings with shareable links, Studio Mode for local 4K recording with an editor for zooms, captions, backgrounds, and cursor effects, and Screenshot Mode for annotated captures. Every capture gets a share page with comments, reactions, transcript, and chapters. It is free to start, with a paid Cap Pro plan for features like custom domains, and it can be self-hosted.
