ScreenCap

What ScreenCap is

ScreenCap is a free, open-source macOS application for screenshots and screen recording. It captures full screens, selected areas, windows and scrolling content, and records a full display or chosen region to MP4 using H.264, with GIF export available. Screenshot files can be exported as PNG, JPEG or TIFF. An annotation editor provides drawing, text, highlighting, blur or pixelation, numbered steps and cropping. Apple Vision supplies OCR, while a color picker copies hex or RGB values. A floating thumbnail can be dragged into other applications, and screenshots can be pinned to the desktop. The project states that ScreenCap makes zero network calls, keeps screenshots on the Mac, requires no account and has no analytics or tracking. It is released under the MIT license for personal and commercial use. ScreenCap requires macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later. The project page describes building from source with Swift or Package.swift in Xcode and lists Xcode 15 or later for building.
