Capptivo is a free, open-source screen recording and editing application designed for creating professional software demonstrations and tutorials. It captures desktop screens, application windows, or selected areas with optional webcam and microphone recording. Users can add annotations, highlight interactions, and control recording sessions through keyboard shortcuts. Its timeline editor provides automatic and manual zoom effects that follow cursor movements or emphasize selected regions. The software also includes customizable backgrounds, cursor animations, and picture-in-picture layouts. On-device speech recognition generates captions without requiring cloud processing. Capptivo supports editing recorded clips, adjusting audio, and exporting finished videos. Built with Tauri, it is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
