Cap is a screen recorder built for people who explain things all day. Record your screen, your camera and your voice, then share the result with a link instead of a heavy file attachment. It has two moods. Instant Mode uploads while you talk, so the link is ready the moment you stop. Studio Mode records to your Mac in full quality and opens an editor made for screen recordings, with zooms and captions.

FAQs

Is Cap free to use?

The vendor says Cap is free for personal use, with unlimited local recording in Studio Mode. Paid plans add commercial rights and cloud features.

How long can I record?

Studio Mode has no time limit for local files. Free cloud share links are limited to shorter clips, which the pricing page spells out.

Can Cap record system sound as well as my voice?

Yes. On Mac it captures system audio and microphone together natively, so calls and app sounds land in the same recording.
