Highlights
Everything a demo needs.
Nothing it doesn't.
Zooms that ease in like an editor did them.
Mark moments with Z, or let auto-zoom find the typing. Every zoom is a block you can move, stretch and aim.
Private by design.
Recorded, edited and encoded on your machine.
Frames that flatter.
Eight backgrounds, padding, corners, shadow and a window bar.
You, in the corner.
Camera bubble, circle or rounded, any corner.
Trim and speed.
Cut the fumbles, play it at 1.25×, 1.5× or 2×.
MP4 up to 4K, encoded on your GPU.
H.264 at 720p, 1080p, 1440p or 4K. No render queue, no upload.
How it works
From take to MP4
in four moves.
No install, no account, no upload. Open the tab and go.
Pick a screen, window or tab.
Hit record and choose what to capture in the browser's own picker. Turn on system audio if you want the sound.
Tap Z at the good parts.
Work normally. Every time something deserves a close-up, press Z or use the floating controls that stay on top of other apps.
Drag, stretch, aim.
Zooms appear as blocks on the timeline. Move them, resize them, or drag the box on the preview to frame exactly what matters.
Ship a crisp MP4.
Pick 720p to 4K and OakCap encodes the video right in your browser using hardware acceleration. Download and post.

Backgrounds

Do I need to install anything?
No. OakCap runs in Chrome or Edge on Mac, Windows and Linux. Open the recorder page and you're ready.
Is my recording uploaded anywhere?
Never. Recording, editing and MP4 encoding all happen inside your browser. Recordings are kept in your browser's local storage until you delete them.
How does auto-zoom work?
OakCap scans the recording for small, focused areas of change, like typing in a field, and places zooms there. You can also mark moments yourself with Z while recording, then move or aim any zoom in the editor.
Can I record system audio and my mic together?
Yes. Turn on your microphone in OakCap, then enable system or tab audio in the browser's share picker. Both are mixed into one track.
