Cap is an open-source screen recorder for Mac and an alternative to Loom. You can share a recording as a link the moment you stop, or record in full quality and polish it in the built-in editor.

Key features:

Record in Instant Mode, which uploads while you talk and copies a share link when you stop.
Record locally in 4K in Studio Mode, with separate screen, camera, and mic tracks.
Add automatic zoom on clicks, backgrounds, cursor smoothing, captions, and blur in the editor.
Capture a window or area in Screenshot Mode, then add a background and annotations.
Give viewers a share page with comments, reactions, a transcript, and chapters, with no download or account needed.
Store recordings in Cap Cloud, your own S3 bucket, Google Drive, or a self-hosted setup.

Cap runs natively on Apple silicon and Intel Macs with macOS 13.1 or newer, and is also available for Windows and Linux. It's free for personal use. A Desktop License for commercial use costs $29 a year or $58 once, and Cap Pro, with unlimited cloud sharing and AI titles, summaries, and transcripts, costs $12 per user a month or $8.16 billed annually.
