Cap
Cap is an open source screen recording platform that lets you edit, store and capture shareable videos.
What you get
Create and share professional screen recordings with integrated AI features and full data ownership, streamlining asynchronous communication for teams and creators.
The problem it solves
Many screen recording tools are closed-source, proprietary, and lock users' content into their servers, leading to privacy concerns, vendor lock-in, and limited control over data. Cap provides an open-source, self-hostable alternative that ensures users retain ownership and control of their recordings while offering a seamless recording and sharing experience.
Who it's for
Cap is a fit for these roles. Each one links to the rest of the tools we recommend for that work.
Pricing
Cap offers a permanently free version for personal use that includes Studio Mode for local recording and editing, with a 5-minute limit on cloud-shareable links. The Cap Pro subscription unlocks unlimited cloud storage, AI features, advanced team collaboration, and custom domain support. A Desktop License provides commercial usage rights with limited cloud sharing.
