Building Capture Studio for Windows

About

Hi, I'm Stian, founder of OpenHub, based in Norway. I build apps and write a lot of software documentation, and I love making tools that make everyday work simpler. Whenever I needed to record a tutorial or write a guide, I wanted a better, optimized app for making tutorials and guides, without accounts or subscriptions. My goal is to build OpenHub into a family of tools that run locally and are yours to keep. Capture Studio is where it starts: I've spent the last year building it, and it's my main focus. I care about the small details, the ones you only notice when they're missing. I listen to the people who use my tools, and I keep improving them one release at a time. If you have an idea or something that bugs you, I'd love to hear it.

Capture Studio - Screen recorder and editor: own it, runs fully offline

Capture Studio is a Windows screen recorder with a real editor behind it, and everything runs on your own PC: no account, no uploads, one-time purchase. Edit on a multi-track timeline with keyframes and transitions, and explain with callouts, numbered steps, spotlights, arrows and keystrokes. Auto-polish cuts idle gaps, smooths the cursor and zooms to follow it. Subtitles and voiceovers are made on-device. Export a project with its media and a colleague just opens it, no invites needed.

🎨 Do solo makers need a UI/UX designer?

For solo makers, wearing every hat is almost unavoidable - developer, marketer, support, product and often designer too.

AI makes this even easier now. You can generate UI pretty quickly, but a lot of products end up relying on consistent, polished AI-generated solutions rather than something truly unique or thoughtfully designed for their specific product.

So I m curious:

Do you design the UI/UX yourself when building solo?
