Then we moved from @loom to @cap since Loom wants insane money for basic screen recording. $24/month/user where Cap is cleaner, significantly less expensive, and has all the same AI features as Loom did. Plus the founder is actually responsive.
Cap v0.5.1 has landed, and agents can now use Cap.
The new Cap CLI gives agents a real interface to Cap: record, export, inspect, upload, validate, and diagnose, all from the command line.
Split-screen scenes, stronger recovery, safer exports & stability improvements!
Cap v0.5 is here.
A stronger foundation for recording, editing, exporting, uploading, and recovery.
Google Drive uploads, merge/import, camera blur, OCR, org branding, quality profiles, safer exports & more 👇
@cap Is a beautiful piece of software. So much better than @loom since the acquisition by @Atlassian, it's is just getting worse and worse, full of blotware. Also appreciate that Cap is open source. Highly recommend this to everyone.
whilst in SF I’ve purchased a MacBook Neo for testing
this little thing is surprisingly powerful!
pleased to say that the next version of @Cap runs *smoothly* on a A18 Pro chip with 8gb RAM. lots of new optimisations unlocked.
Paying for Loom to record simple videos always irked me
I recently discovered Cap - an open-source alternative, and it's really good for simple screen capture stuff light editing runs entirely locally!
the best place to build and grow a company from
is where your friends and family are
it's 2026, just send a Cal link for meetings, Cap link for quick updates
I'm pleased to announce that I have signed a lifetime contract as Founder of @Cap.
Huge thank you to the board and team for getting the deal over the line so quickly.
I built a tool that generates a DESIGN.md from any website.
Paste a URL → get a semantic design document your AI agent actually understands: color relationships, typography, spacing logic, and component patterns.
Launching soon
we’re trying to smash recording and exporting bugs as much as possible. We hope we’re closer to this in v0.4.83 of @Cap, but if you can replicate a bug in recording (instant or studio mode), or in exporting, and you create a PR fixing it, I’ll send you $100-$300 depending on the severity.
the goal is to make Cap feel bulletproof, and it’s going to be a monumental effort from lots of people, on lots of different variations of setups to do this.
It’s really easy to get started locally. Just follow the instructions in our GitHub.
