¿Qué es?
Capso is a macOS app for taking screenshots and recording the screen. It offers an all-in-one capture toolbar with area, fullscreen, window, scrolling, timer, OCR and recording modes, plus an annotation editor with arrows, shapes, text, highlights and pixelation.
On the recording side, it exports MP4 or GIF, captures system audio and microphone input, and adds a resizable webcam overlay in four shapes. A recording editor handles trimming, zoom, cursor smoothing and background styling. Captures are stored in a searchable history, and optional cloud sharing uploads to the user's own Cloudflare R2 bucket.
The app is built with Swift 6 and SwiftUI and targets macOS 15 or later. Its core features are split into independent Swift packages, such as CaptureKit, AnnotationKit and OCRKit, which can be reused in other projects.
