Capture: record the screen and every input together

OpenAdapt Capture records a desktop task: the screen, every mouse and keyboard event, and their timing on one clock, scoped to the window you choose. Flow turns the recording into a program. You can use it through Desktop and Flow, or install it as a library. Browser recordings use Flow's own recorder.

What it does

  • Keeps input events and screen frames on the same clock.
  • Scopes a recording to one application window; over remote desktop it records the client window's pixels.
  • Records accessibility trees too, and audio if you ask, transcribed on your computer.
  • Works on Windows, macOS and Linux with X11; Wayland isn't supported.
  • Pauses capture while someone signs in.
  • Stops cleanly and checks the recording before reporting it complete.

Status

Released as openadapt-capture 1.3.0.
