OpenKap is surprisingly smooth and lightweight. I was already using JumpShare for screen recording, but after trying this, the experience felt seamless. Easy to use, fast, and works really well. Highly recommended!

FAQ

Questions & answers

What is OpenKap?
OpenKap is a free, open source screen recording tool for product teams. Install the Chrome extension, click record, and get a shareable link the moment you stop. No uploads, no watermarks, no meetings required.
Is OpenKap free to use?
Yes. OpenKap's free plan includes 5 recordings of up to 5 minutes each, instant shareable links, and the Chrome extension — no credit card required. The Pro plan ($8/month) unlocks unlimited recordings and length.
Is OpenKap open source?
Yes. OpenKap is fully open source and available on GitHub. You can self-host it on your own infrastructure so your recordings never leave your servers.
How is OpenKap different from Loom?
OpenKap is free and open source; Loom is proprietary with a limited free tier. OpenKap supports self-hosting so your data stays on your own infrastructure. OpenKap also has an MCP server for Claude AI integration — something Loom does not offer.

Yes. OpenKap includes an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets Claude Code and other AI tools read video transcriptions, AI summaries, and team comments from any shared recording.
Can I self-host OpenKap?
