Changelog

New features, improvements, and fixes across the Cap desktop app, web, mobile, and browser extension.

Web

Editable Transcripts

Transcripts are no longer read-only. Fix names, jargon, and mistakes directly on the share page, and your corrections show for every viewer.

Features

  • Edit any line - Click into the transcript to correct the text in place.

Improvements

  • Player UX - A round of usability improvements to the share page video player.
Web

Password Protection and Video Uploads

Two additions to your library today: lock any Cap behind a password, and upload existing videos straight from the dashboard.

Features

  • Password-protected Caps - Set a password on a video and viewers must enter it before watching. Even the title stays hidden without access.
  • Upload videos - Bring existing recordings into Cap with the new upload button in your dashboard. Uploaded videos get share pages like any other Cap.

Improvements

  • Player polish - Chapters are better integrated into the player, alongside general UI tweaks.
Web

Cap AI: Titles, Summaries, and Chapters

Cap AI writes the boring parts for you. After a recording is transcribed, Cap generates a title, a summary, and chapters automatically. Rolling out gradually.

Features

  • Automatic titles - New Caps get a descriptive name instead of a timestamp.
  • Summary tab - A concise summary of the recording appears on the share page.
  • Chapters - The player is split into chapters so viewers can jump to the part they need.
Web

A Redesigned Dashboard

The dashboard has a new look. Cleaner navigation, a refreshed Caps grid, and better empty states across the app.

Improvements

  • New layout - A tidier sidebar and header make it faster to move between your Caps, shared Caps, and settings.
  • Refreshed Cap cards - Thumbnails, titles, and actions are easier to scan at a glance.
  • Clearer empty states - New pages explain what goes where when you are starting out.
Web

Custom Domains for Share Links

Share Caps from your own domain. Connect a domain in workspace settings and your share links use it instead of cap.so.

Features

  • Bring your own domain - Point a domain or subdomain at Cap and share links switch over automatically.
  • Guided setup - Workspace settings walk you through the DNS records and verify them for you.
  • Everywhere links appear - Cap cards and copied links use your custom domain once it is verified.
Web

Activity, Transcript, and Analytics on the Share Page

The share page now has a proper sidebar. Comments, the transcript, and view analytics live in tabs next to the video instead of below it.

Features

  • Activity tab - Comments and replies in one feed beside the player.
  • Transcript tab - The full transcript sits alongside the video for quick reading.
  • View analytics - Owners can see how many people have watched each Cap.
  • Workspace-only viewing - A new workspace setting restricts shared Caps to viewers with your company's email domain.
Web

Connect Your Own S3 Storage

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.

Features

  • Any S3-compatible provider - Works with AWS S3 and S3-compatible services like Cloudflare R2 and MinIO.
  • Your storage, your rules - Videos never have to live on Cap's storage, which pairs naturally with Cap being open source.
  • Share pages just work - Links, thumbnails, and playback behave exactly the same on a custom bucket.
Web

Workspaces and Team Sharing

Cap now works for teams. Create a workspace, invite your teammates, and share Caps with everyone in it.

Features

  • Workspaces - Set up a shared workspace for your team from the dashboard.
  • Invites - Invite teammates by email, and manage pending invites from workspace settings.
  • Shared Caps - Share any Cap with your workspace and it appears in a shared library everyone can browse.
  • Per-seat billing - Workspace subscriptions scale with the number of members.
Web

Automatic Transcriptions

Caps are now transcribed automatically, and the full transcript appears alongside the video on the share page.

Features

  • Transcript on the share page - Read along while you watch, or skim the transcript instead of scrubbing.
  • Processing status - The share page shows transcription progress and updates as soon as the transcript is ready.
Web

Cap Pro

Cap Pro is here. A single subscription that removes the free plan's recording limits and supports Cap's development as an open source project.

Features

  • Monthly or annual billing - Choose the plan that suits you on the new pricing page.
  • No recording limits - Record and share without the free plan's usage caps.
  • Promo codes - Discount codes can be applied at checkout.
  • Manage billing in settings - Update your plan and payment details from your dashboard.
Web

Record From Your Browser

You can now record a Cap without installing anything. The new web recorder captures your screen and webcam straight from the browser and gives you a shareable link when you stop.

Features

  • Screen and webcam recording - Pick a screen, window, or tab, and optionally add your camera.
  • Upload as you record - Recordings upload in segments while you record, so your link is ready quickly after you stop.
  • Works alongside the desktop app - Same account, same library, same share pages.
Web

Comments and Emoji Reactions

The share page is now a conversation. Viewers can leave comments and react with emojis directly on any Cap.

Features

  • Comments - Anyone watching a Cap can leave a comment on the share page.
  • Emoji reactions - React to a Cap with a single click while watching.
  • Editable titles - Rename a Cap right from its share page.
  • Copy link - A one-click button copies the share link to your clipboard.
