What is Cap?
Cap is an open-source screen recording and video sharing platform that helps users record, edit, and share videos quickly. Built as a modern alternative to Loom, Cap combines screen recording, lightweight editing, video hosting, and collaboration tools into a single platform. Users can record their screen, webcam, and microphone, then instantly share recordings through links or export videos locally.
The platform is designed for asynchronous communication, allowing teams to replace meetings with video updates, walkthroughs, bug reports, product demos, tutorials, and customer support recordings.
