Hey everyone! After nearly a year of building Cap.so, we’re thrilled to unveil our latest relaunch and show you everything we’ve been working on. We've rebuilt the entire app from the ground up, focusing on what matters most: making screen recording and sharing as effortless and powerful as possible. Back in April, we introduced the first early version of Cap, and the response blew us away. We gained thousands of users, hit #1 on Hacker News (Show HN), and trended on GitHub with over 5k stars. Most importantly, we received incredible feedback that’s shaped the new direction we’re excited to share today. What’s new in Cap? Cap is now local-first and packed with powerful new features, including: • 🚀 A powerful editor • 📸 Screenshots • ⌨️ Hotkeys • 🎯 Quick action thumbnails • 🌐 Team sharing capabilities • 💻 Windows early access release …and so much more. But the star of this release, v0.3.1, is our biggest feature yet: Cap Apps. These are community-submitted apps that extend Cap’s functionality in exciting ways. The first app launching today is S3 Config, which lets you connect your own S3 bucket. With this, all new shareable links are stored and served directly from your bucket, giving you 100% ownership of your data. We can’t wait to hear what you think! Please share your feedback—it means the world to us. Thank you for your incredible support 🙏

Congrats Richie on the launch. So much happened in this rebuild! Really looking forward using it with my own S3 bucket. Open source is all about choice and this is super epic 🚀

Looks great! You read my mind! I was just looking for this 🙋‍♀️

Congrats on relaunching and much success! If you ever want to discuss integrating with Dropshare (for adding support to upload to many other storage providers other than S3), feel free to reach out.

I used it for a week and still needs considerable polishing. Having said that, it feels like it is really well crafted. Well done.

Congrats on shipping!

Congratulations on the launch! I tried Cap some time ago, and it's such a great product.

Congrats on the relaunch @richiemcilroy. Do you plan to expand the Cap Apps ecosystem further? Would love to hear if there are any unique integrations in the pipeline! Amazing work so far! 🚀

Super love this. Been following your progress and X and I've loved seeing Cap updates. Congrats on the launch 🔥 🔥 🔥

Thank you for Cap!

can you add Google drive

Its open source and not even for linux, are you crazy ?

nice addition interating s3, congrats on the launch @richiemcilroy

Congrats on the launch Richie!

I tried Cap sometime ago, great product - well executed.

Are there any demo or app walkthrough videos available? Or even screenshots? Very much interested to learn more about the capabilities of the editor, but I'm on Windows and couldn't find any details on the website.

Cap is one of my favorite pieces of software I've used in the recent years – best part is you get to own your data since they're fully open-source + via their S3 integration. Incredibly excited for this launch!

Looking forward to a Windows compatible app...please? Was so excited by this launch and can't wait to start experimenting with it. Well done!

I love Cap! I'm truly inspired by Richie for making this happen and sharing the progress along the way. Big kudos!

I've been a long fan of Richie's work and really happy to see him launch this version of Cap. I can't wait for the Windows version to be finally ready for me to test and make my new default screen recording app. BYO S3 is a great addition too, so I can have 100% ownership of my recordings. Keep up the good work Richie and team.
