ScreenRec

Kap

Kap is an open-source screen recorder for macOS, built with web technology, that captures the screen and exports directly to GIF, MP4, WebM, or APNG with optional audio in one workflow. Built-in editing covers trimming recordings and highlighting mouse clicks, useful for tutorial-style captures, and its source code is publicly available on GitHub for inspection or contribution. A plugin system extends Kap with integrations such as Giphy uploads, Vercel deployment, and Streamable hosting, and the vendor lists engineering-heavy companies including Vercel, GitHub, and CircleCI among its users. It is completely free with no paid tier, aimed at developers and designers who want a fast, minimal way to record and share short screen captures, particularly as GIFs.
