Record your screen while you work. Screencap labels tasks so you can find them later and share them with teammates. On the paid plan, recordings stay private on your computer or in your private cloud; the free plan uploads them and shares them with Proteus, the company that makes Screencap.
Download directly, use your terminal, or ask your coding agent. No repository access needed.

Start a recording. Work as usual and explain the steps aloud if you want. Password managers and banking apps are blocked from recording. Email and chat are masked during capture.
Screencap runs a model on your computer to split recordings into tasks, such as running payroll or approving expenses. Search spoken words and screen content to find the part you need.
Share one task or put recordings in order for a new teammate to follow. Screencap removes names, secrets, and personal information from shared copies. You choose which recordings to send.
Here is where recordings are stored, what gets blocked, and what happens when you share.
Connect your apps through MCP to save details about the payroll run, customer record, or ticket shown on screen. Screencap stores those details with the recording on your computer. Viewers can follow a link from the video to the record in the original app.
You can contribute recordings to a public dataset for training computer-use models. Before a recording is added, its owner reviews every frame, and names, faces, and sensitive information are removed. Contributions are off by default. You choose each recording to share.
Use Screencap free by sharing your recordings with Proteus, the company that makes Screencap, or pay $20 a month to keep them private: on your device, in your private cloud, or both.
$20 / month
