I'm a builder who got tired of paying monthly for polished demo video tools and every tool I tried either didn't quite fit my workflow or was missing something I needed, like draw-on-screen annotations: a pen, a highlighter, and a way to point directly at what I'm talking about.

So I built Capptivo for myself. Record on macOS, Windows, or Linux, then polish your videos in the editor: follow-cursor zoom, click-based auto-zooms, editor presets, face-cam, on-device captions, and draw-on-screen annotations with pens, highlighters, and shapes that you can place over your screen while recording to highlight exactly what matters.

Create stunning screen recordings in seconds, not hours your demos almost make themselves.

Capptivo isn't a clone of Screen Studio or Cursorful. Every feature was built around my own workflow and the problems I faced. I'm now open-sourcing it under the MIT License so anyone can use it, improve it, customize it, or build on top of it without restrictions. No more paying $29/month just to ship a clean product video.

It's still early, and I'm building it mostly solo, so I'd genuinely love your honest feedback. What would make this more useful for your demos? What am I missing compared to the tools you already use?

Happy to answer any questions, and contributions are always welcome.

Hey everyone, Abdessamad here

I'm a maker who got tired of paying monthly for polished demo videos and every tool I tried either didn't quite fit how I work or was missing something I needed, like draw-on-screen annotations: a pen, a highlighter, a way to point at the thing I'm actually talking about.

So I built Capptivo for myself. Record on macOS, Windows, or Linux, then polish in the editor: follow-cursor zoom, click-based auto-zooms, editor presets, face-cam, on-device captions, and draw-on-screen annotations pen, highlighter, and shapes you can lay over the screen mid-recording to point at exactly what matters. Create stunning screen recordings in seconds, not hours your demos practically make themselves.
