Changelog

You can now connect your own S3-compatible storage bucket to Cap. New recordings upload straight to your bucket, and share pages serve them from there, so you keep full ownership of your data.

With this update, we've added support for taking screenshots.

Just like screen recordings, you can copy to clipboard, save, or create a shareable link.

You can take a screenshot by clicking in the tray menu, or the dedicated button in the main Cap window.

Next update will include shortcut support for taking screenshots and a basic editor (for cropping, adding effects, etc).

In this update, we've added support for global recording start/stop shortcuts, implemented trimming in the editor, and support for different aspect ratios.

The latest version of Cap Desktop is now available in early access. A complete rebuild from the ground up, v0.3 is a completely new app with a brand new design, new features, and improved performance.
