Kap
An open-source screen recorder built with web technology
Capture your screen. An open-source screen recorder built with web technology. Export as GIF, MP4, WebM, or APNG with optional audio, highlight clicks and trimming. The ease of use and speed you’ve been looking for – the functionality and extensibility you didn’t know you needed. Designers, developers, project managers. They all use Kap. So why a screen recorder? Turns out that after a few rounds of playing ping pong with the idea, we realised that we shared the same pain points with the currently available solutions. Not only that, but we had some pretty neat thoughts on how to create something better that resonated with all of us. We almost killed the idea, and maybe that’s the lesson here; don’t be an idea killer. There are a lot of rules we make that aren’t necessarily very useful; why shouldn’t you do something just because it’s been done before? It’s often the things we think are solved that are most ripe for innovation. -

rem
Open source approach to locally record and enable searching on Mac
Instantly access every moment you've had on your Mac, from now on. 100% local. No network. Open-source. I think the idea of recording everything you see has the potential to change how we interact with our computers and believe it should be open source. Also, that means there is no tracking/analytics of any kind, which means I don't know if you're running into bugs when you do. So please report any / all you find. -
