Kap

Kap is an open‑source screen‑recording application that runs on macOS 12 or later. It captures the display and can export the resulting footage as GIF, MP4, WebM, or APNG files, optionally including audio. The tool also offers features such as click highlighting and trimming to refine recordings before saving.

The software is aimed at designers, developers, and project managers who need a lightweight way to record their screens for tutorials, demos, or visual communication. Its web‑based implementation allows it to integrate with online services; users can share GIFs directly to Giphy, upload videos to Streamable, or deploy related workflows with Vercel.

Kap’s distinctive aspects include its open‑source licence, a focus on low‑noise, high‑quality output, and extensibility through community contributions. The project is maintained on GitHub, provides free tier access, and is considered stable for production use.
