Full-page scroll capture
Auto or manual scrolling with a side-by-side live preview. Stitching only uses textured edges, de-duplicates repeated content, and pauses on low-confidence frames instead of polluting the result.
Built to finish the work
Every capture, finished fast.
And it stays yours.
Screenshots and screen recordings on macOS, with precise editing and nothing uploaded to the cloud.
Screenshots
Capture more than a frame.
Window snap & repeated regions
Windows snap to the cursor in the unified selector. Control+Shift+G reuses your last region — and asks again when a display changes, so it never silently screenshots stale coordinates.
Precision editing
Eight-way resize with logical points, output pixels and zoom factor shown as measurable X/Y/W/H. Shift, Option, arrow keys and horizontal/vertical measuring give you a precision mode that doesn't break the quick path.
Loupe & color picker
Pixel magnifier with custom/recent colors, the system picker and an eyedropper. Copy Hex, RGB, HSL, CSS, SwiftUI or NSColor — with sRGB and Display P3 handled explicitly.
Screen recording
Record the whole scene.
Screen + system audio + mic + camera
Record a region or window with system audio, microphone and camera picture-in-picture. Camera is saved separately per take so you can move, scale or hide it in the editor before it's composited into the export.
Pause, resume & a health check first
Pause and resume anytime. Starting a take quickly rechecks your chosen devices and permissions: a healthy setup goes straight to countdown, while an abnormal one opens the full health panel with live levels and disk headroom.
Named recording presets
Build up to 16 named presets that save the full configuration and remember the last microphone and camera. If a device disappears, captureX won't silently switch to another one.
Editing & export
Deliver, don't rework.
Quick editor
Right after you stop, the fast editor offers Trim, Crop, Mute and MP4 export. The cursor is burned into the screen track for you — no fake arrow to re-add.
One capture, many outputs
Build Original, 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 or 4:5 versions from the same source, each with its own fit/fill layout, background, margins, rounded corners, shadow and safe zones.
GIF, when you need it
GIF lives in the secondary export and stays safe: at most 15 seconds, 720 px long edge, 10 FPS, 150 frames and 25 MiB — no audio.
Why local wins
captureX vs. cloud screenshot tools.
For teams and solo creators who care where their content lives, local-first isn't a downgrade — it's the point.
| captureX | Cloud screenshot tools | |
|---|---|---|
| Payment | One-time $29 license | Monthly or yearly subscription |
| Your data | Stays on your Mac | Uploaded to the cloud |
| Offline | Works fully offline | Often needs a connection |
| Full-page capture | Built-in scroll capture | Sometimes needs a browser extension |
| Recording | Screen + audio + mic + camera | Often screen-only |
| Export | One capture, many aspect ratios | Fixed output |
Local-first
Local-first, by design
captureX is local and offline by default. Screen content, recordings, camera frames, OCR text, keystrokes and file paths are never uploaded. Updates only run on a signed channel; diagnostics keep bounded numeric aggregates.
