Built For How You Actually Work
We obsessed over the details so you don't have to. Every feature is designed to save you time and make you look good.
Privacy by Default, Sharing by Choice
Instant sharing when you need it, local recording when you want it. Share publicly or privately, password-protect sensitive recordings, or keep them local only.
Async Collaboration That Actually Works
Comments, reactions, and transcripts keep conversations moving without another meeting. See who watched, get notified on feedback, and turn recordings into actionable next steps. Replace those "quick sync" calls for good.
Cross-Platform For Your Entire Team
Native apps for macOS and Windows that feel at home on each platform. No janky Electron apps or browser extensions — just fast, reliable recording that works with your existing tools and workflow.
Quality That Makes You Look Professional
4K recording, 60fps capture, and intelligent compression that keeps file sizes reasonable.

Questions? We've Got Answers.
What is the difference between Cap Pro and Desktop License?
+
Cap Pro is a paid plan that includes all the features of the Desktop License plus cloud features for seamless sharing and collaboration. Desktop License grants you commercial usage rights for a single user.
Is there a free version?
+
Yes! Cap is 100% free for personal use. You can record and share locally with Studio Mode. A paid plan is required for commercial usage.
How long can I record for on the free version?
+
You can record for 5 minutes on the free version. After that, you'll need to upgrade to a paid plan.
How does Cap AI work?
+
Cap AI is a powerful tool that can be used to generate titles, summaries, clickable chapters, and transcriptions for your recordings. It's available for all Cap Pro users and has no usage limits.
How is Cap different from Loom?
+
Cap gives you the best of both worlds: the simplicity of Loom with the power of professional tools. We're open source, support custom storage, offer better pricing, and our desktop app works offline. Plus, you actually own your content. Already using Loom? Our built-in Loom video importer makes switching effortless.
What happens to my recordings if I cancel?

Your recordings are yours forever. If you cancel Pro, existing shares remain active and you can always export everything. Downgrade to our free plan to keep recording locally, or self-host to maintain all features.

Can I use Cap for commercial purposes?

Is my data secure?
+
Security is core to Cap. As an open source project, our code is fully auditable and transparent — you can see exactly how your data is handled. End-to-end encryption for cloud storage, option to use your own infrastructure, and community-driven security reviews keep your content safe.
What about GDPR/HIPAA compliance?
