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.

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'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

The second best open source screen recording app. 1 less star because it's not stable enough, sometime it is hang. However most of the time it works very well..

This app is pure garbage. It opened properly ONCE for, and I couldn't even record a video before it just disappeared. Don't waste your time on this app, it's worthless!

Was fine to make a video, but hung up my computer at one point (had to restart) as it was throwing lots of exceptions. Also had trouble exporting to mp4 on multiple occasions
