Open-source, lightweight screen recorder for macOS and Windows — a fast, privacy-respecting alternative to Loom for quick video messages.

Why it is useful

Cap records and shares screen videos with a focus on speed and small file sizes, and being open-source means there's no forced cloud storage or per-seat subscription just to record a quick walkthrough. Self-hosting the storage backend is supported for teams that don't want video data sitting on a third-party server.
