OpenCapture v1.0 — Initial Release

Open source screen recording for Mac. No cloud, no subscriptions, no hostage-taking.

Download & Install

  1. Download OpenCapture-v1.0.dmg below
  2. Open the .dmg and drag OpenCapture to your Applications folder
  3. Important: Since the app is not signed with an Apple Developer certificate, macOS Gatekeeper will block it. Run this command in Terminal to fix it:
xattr -cr /Applications/OpenCapture.app
  1. Open OpenCapture from Applications

Why is this needed? macOS quarantines apps downloaded from the internet that aren't code-signed with an Apple Developer ID ($99/year). The xattr -cr command removes the quarantine flag. This is standard for open source Mac apps distributed outside the App Store.

Requirements

  • macOS 13.0+ (Ventura or later)
  • Apple Silicon (arm64)

Features

  • Screen recording — full screen or custom region, 24/30/60 FPS, quality presets
  • Direct-to-disk — recordings write incrementally, crash-safe from the first second
  • Audio — microphone with device selection, volume control, level meter + system audio
  • Webcam — floating circular PiP overlay, draggable
  • Annotation — draw on screen during recording with multiple colors
  • Pause/Resume — with full A/V sync
  • Global hotkeys — all shortcuts work even when the app is in the background
Shortcut Action
⇧⌘R Start / Stop Recording
⇧⌘P Pause / Resume
⇧⌘A Toggle Annotation
⇧⌘D Clear Annotations
⇧⌘V Toggle Webcam
⇧⌘M Toggle Microphone
Esc Cancel Recording

Build from Source

Building from source avoids the Gatekeeper issue entirely:

git clone https://github.com/simarahitamtech/OpenCapture.git
cd OpenCapture
swift build -c release
swift run

Zero third-party dependencies. Pure Swift + Apple frameworks.
