About Cap
Cap is a free, open source screen recording and screenshot tool available for macOS, Windows, Linux, and web. It offers three core capture modes: Instant for quick cloud-uploaded recordings, Studio for high-quality local 4K recordings with editing, and Screenshot for styled window or area captures. All shared content is hosted on a browser-viewable Cap page that includes comments, reactions, auto-generated transcripts, and chapters, with no account required for viewers. A Cap Pro tier is available for users or teams needing additional features, though specific pricing is not listed.
