Kap

Kap integrates directly into the macOS menu bar, allowing users to start recordings with a single click without opening a full application window, as described in the README's usage instructions.

The app supports pausing during recordings via Option-click, enabling seamless editing of long captures without stopping, a feature highlighted in the README tip.

Kap offers a plugin architecture that lets users add custom functionality, supported by community-driven development and documented in the plugins docs linked from the README.

Optimized for crisp screen recordings, Kap ensures clear visuals suitable for tutorials and demos, as emphasized in the key features list.

Completely free with no licensing costs, and being open-source allows transparency and community contributions, appealing to developers and cost-conscious users.
