What is Cap

Cap is a screen recording application that offers two recording modes for different needs. Instant Mode lets you record and share immediately with automatic transcription and chapter generation. Studio Mode provides local recording with a full editing timeline for professional content creation.

The tool includes AI-powered features that automatically create titles, summaries, and chapters for each recording. You can record in up to 4K resolution at 60 frames per second, with separate tracks for screen, webcam, and audio.

Cap is completely open source, meaning you can see how it works and even host it yourself. It supports both quick team communication and high-quality content production in one application.
