The first take
The first public release, for Windows. Hit record, click, stop: it's already edited.
Record
- The whole screen, a window or a selection you draw and resize on screen.
- Microphone, computer sound and webcam, each optional and in sync. 30 or 60 fps.
- A floating bar, a tray icon and a global shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+2) to stop from anywhere.
- Crash recovery: if Kamo or Windows crashes mid-recording, the take comes back.
Edit
- Automatic zoom on every click, with a spring camera. Every zoom is an editable block on the timeline.
- Smooth cursor with a click effect, or hidden.
- Webcam bubble in any corner or position; a split layout in 9:16.
- Wallpapers, your own image, padding, corners and shadow. Trim, undo and redo.
Export
- MP4 in 1080p or 4K, at 30 or 60 fps, hardware-encoded where available.
- GIF up to 1280 px, with a size estimate before you export.
- 16:9, 1:1 and 9:16 from the same timeline. Captions burned in or as .srt. No watermark.
Organize and connect
- Local playlists on Home.
- Local transcription as an optional pack, and captions in 12 styles.
- A local MCP server so AI agents can read your recordings.
- Five languages, light and dark themes, a welcome tour and Copy diagnostics.
Known limitations
- Windows only for now. The Mac app and the Chrome extension are built and tested, not released yet.
- The installer isn't code-signed yet, so SmartScreen shows a warning the first time.
- @kamo/mcp isn't on npm yet; the app shows how to run the server from source.
