What it does
OpenCapture is an open source screen recorder for Mac built to remove artificial limits from basic recording. No login. No watermark. No paywalled export. It supports full screen or region capture, mic + system audio, webcam overlay, real-time background blur with preview, a built-in teleprompter, annotations, pause/resume in a single file, and live recording controls. MIT licensed and runs locally.

Open source screen recording for Mac. No cloud, no subscriptions, no hostage-taking. A native macOS screen recorder built with SwiftUI and ScreenCaptureKit. Your recordings write directly to disk from the first frame — if the app crashes, your file is still playable. No "processing", no "exporting", no paywalls. All shortcuts work globally — even when the app is in the background. xattr -cr /Applications/OpenCapture.app Open OpenCapture from Applications Why step 3? macOS Gatekeeper blocks apps that aren't signed with an Apple Developer certificate.

It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
