Kap - Screen recording, now with plugins. Redesigned.

Hunters and makers, it's good to be back! 😻 Today marks our biggest release yet, and it's packed with new features including plugins, trimming and Touch Bar support. We've been lucky to have such an incredible community of contributors, testers and supporters follow us through the design and development process. It's made Kap better for everyone, and we hope you enjoy it! Any and all questions and feedback are welcome, we'd also love to hear how we can make Kap even better for you.

I've been using Kap as the absolute screen recorder for quite a good time now, and with this new feature of selecting the screen things got even better

Pros:

Feature rich, fast, beatiful

Cons:

Quite heavy app size

Been using Kap since the initial release, and I'm super happy with 2.0. Cannot suggest Kap highly enough, especially if you need to capture GIFs frequently.

Pros:

Easy GIF Capture, Highly Configurable

Cons:

Moderately large download

I hated how clunky most other GIF recorders were. With some products, the GIFs generated are hard to find. With Kap, they're always named "Kapture", so I just search for the most recent "Kapture" to post on whatever I'm working on.

Pros:

Best GIF recorder I've found. Nice interface, works with retina and external displays (many don't). The newest version adds trimming!

Cons:

None

The all new Kap is such a beautiful and powerful product. 👏

It’s lovely to see how the 2nd version of the app evolved. The new export options are great and very useful and the review sequence is a nice addon as well. I use it on a regular basis each day for short screen recordings and love the product. Thanks for building it!

Pros:

Amazing new version with so many useful features that serve exactly the needs I have when using such a screenrecording app.

Cons:

There’s not much editing possible right now but that’s also not something I regularly miss.

Been using Kap since the v1 launch here on PH ~1 year ago. Not many apps get to stay on my macbook that long 👏

I have been using the Kap beta for about 3-5 months now and absolutely love it. Super easy to use and it produces wonderful gifs. I love the trimming functionality -- I no longer have to worry about making the beginning and ends of my gifs make sense, I can just trim them away :) If you need to make gifs, this thing is great.

Been using Kap since the start and after having gone through 10+ GIF recording tools and this is the only one that's been giving me satisfactory results. It doesn't give you full control over color algorithms and rendering results etc, but I suspect most people won't want that.

Pros:

Best GIF and screen recorder, simple to use, lives in the menu bar

Cons:

May be too simple for some

It would be great if Kap allows to choose area of screencast using mouse cursor

Pros:

Plain, Simple, Fast and Open source

Cons:

Hard to select area to take screencast
