Open-source screen recorder with instant share links
Record your screen with the Chrome extension and share a link with your team or customers. Your AI agents can record too, through the MCP server: demos, how-tos and bug reports.
CaptureFlow is a free, open-source screen recorder that lives in your Chrome browser. Record, and you get a link you can share with anyone. It's great for showing a teammate a bug, walking a customer through a feature, or explaining something that would take ages to type out.
KEY FEATURES
📽️ Record a tab, a window, or your whole screen, with your camera and microphone
🔗 Get a link you can share with anyone
✂️ Trim, cut, change the background or move your face bubble after you've shared it, and the link stays the same
📝 Transcripts and captions, with a summary and chapters
💬 See time-stamped comments and emoji reactions from the people who watch
🔔 Find out when someone watches or comments
🔒 Decide who can watch each video
📸 Take screenshots and mark them up before you share
🐙 Paste a video link into GitHub and it plays right there on the page
🤖 Coding agents can record too: an MCP server lets them record a demo of a pull request or a bug and attach the link
🛠️ Open source, and you can host it yourself
Two ways to use it:
- Hosted at captureflow.dev: free for your first 25 recordings, then Light at $5 or Pro at $12 per member a month, with unlimited recordings. A member is someone who records, so you only pay for the people making recordings.
- Self-host it with Docker on any machine, or on your own Cloudflare account (Workers, D1 and R2). Recordings stay on your storage, behind your auth, with your retention rules. The docs walk you through it step by step.
Everything is AGPL-3.0, the capture engine is MIT, and no feature is held back from the source. A native macOS app is built and coming soon.
It's still early, so I'd love to hear your feedback. I'll be here all day answering questions!
