Hi Product Hunt! I'm Xinjiang, and I built Tinycap because I kept recording 10-second clips for pull requests and bug reports, then fighting the file size.
Tinycap lives in the menu bar. Pick a window, a screen or an area, record, trim, and export MP4, WebM or GIF. It shows the file size before you export, and "Fit under 10 MB" steps a GIF down until it fits. The GIF encoder is its own: it stores only what changed between frames, so screen recordings stay small.
New in 0.3.0: screenshots. Press āā„ā4, drag an area, and a thumbnail waits in the corner. Click it to mark up with arrows you can bend, bold text, pixelation that really removes the pixels, and a crop. Then āC and paste.
A few things I cared about:
ā¢ It's 5.1 MB, native Swift and ScreenCaptureKit, and signed and notarized by Apple.
ā¢ Nothing leaves your Mac. No account, no telemetry; the only network request is a daily update check you can turn off.
ā¢ It's free and MIT licensed: github.com/soleo/tinycap.
Next up: a screenshot self-timer, and the Mac App Store. I'd love to hear what you'd use it for, and what's missing.
