LicenseAGPL-3.0

Cap records screen and camera, then gives you an editor with backgrounds, automatic zooms, and cursor smoothing before you share a link. It is built in Rust on Tauri, so the binary is small and recording does not tax the machine it is recording.

Loom

Loom

Asynchronous screen and camera recording shared by link

CompanyAtlassian
Since2016
PricingFreemium

Loom's contribution was the workflow, not the recording. Stop the recording and the link is already on your clipboard, which is what made replacing a meeting with a three minute video actually happen.

Screen Studio

Screen Studio

Screen recording with automatic zooms and polished motion

CompanyScreen Studio
Since2022
PricingPaid

Screen Studio produces product demos that look edited without anyone editing them. Cursor movement is smoothed, clicks trigger zooms, and the resulting motion reads as deliberate rather than as somebody's screen recording.
