@allisonmahmood allisonmahmood released this 25 Sep 13:06

OmaCap records your screen and turns a short take into a demo video. Made for Omarchy, with local recording, editing and export. No account or upload.

In this release

  • Record a window or display, with optional microphone, desktop audio and camera.
  • Crop, trim and cut linked tracks, with audio waveforms and undo/redo.
  • Add a wallpaper or solid background, padding, rounded corners, shadows and window transparency.
  • Add smooth zooms and adjust their focus directly in the editor.
  • Export MP4 or GIF with your chosen size and frame rate.

Install

For current Omarchy stable on x86_64. Update Omarchy through its normal update menu first.

Download omacap-0.1.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst and SHA256SUMS from the assets below. In their download directory:

sha256sum --check --ignore-missing SHA256SUMS
sudo pacman -U ./omacap-0.1.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

Launch OmaCap from the application launcher or run omacap. Pacman installs the required dependencies. To update later, download and install the new release package the same way. GitHub releases do not update through Omarchy or yay.

If you installed an earlier development build with scripts/install-local.sh, remove its ~/.local/bin/omacap and ~/.local/share/applications/omacap.desktop when switching to this package, so they do not override it.

Scope and limitations

This first release targets short SDR demos on a 16:9 canvas. Keep a captured window at a fixed size; use display capture if you need to resize it. Zooms are manual. There is recovery after an interrupted edit, but no saved-project format. Closing or discarding an edit clears its temporary session.

The release package is built against Omarchy's stable Arch mirror. Automated checks cover synthetic capture, editing, exports and package installation/launch under a virtual display. Real portal capture and camera/microphone timing depend on your desktop and devices. ARM and other distributions are not tested.

See the README for the recording workflow and GitHub Issues to report problems. Include the OmaCap version, Omarchy version and relevant device details.
