Public roadmap

What works today, on which platform.

And what comes next.

Kaipu Record runs on macOS, and Windows is in beta. Every feature below shows where it already works, where it is being built, and what is planned.

Order is a priority, not a promise. Plans move as we learn what people actually need.

  • Screen and camera recording

    Record

    Record your screen and your camera in high quality, with a floating camera bubble and quality presets that trade size for sharpness.

    macOSShipped
    WindowsIn progress

  • System audio

    Record

    Capture what your computer is playing, on its own switch next to the microphone.

    macOSShipped
    WindowsIn progress

  • Global keyboard shortcuts

    Record

    Start and stop a recording, take a screenshot in the mode you want and bring the app to front, from anywhere. Every shortcut can be rebound.

    Windows gets its own defaults (Ctrl+Alt), because the Mac combination lands on the Windows key there.

    WindowsIn progress

  • Menu bar and tray panel

    Record

    A capture panel that lives in the menu bar on macOS and in the system tray on Windows.

    macOSShipped
    WindowsIn progress

  • Change inputs while you record

    Record

    Mute the microphone, turn system audio on or off and show or hide the camera mid-take, from the capture panel or a global shortcut, without stopping the recording.

    macOSShipped
    WindowsIn progress

  • Screenshot annotations

    Capture

    Capture and annotate screenshots with shapes and text: multi-line labels, resizable boxes with word wrap, and double-click to edit a label in place.

    macOSShipped
    WindowsIn progress

  • Screenshot modes: Frame and Screen

    Capture

    Drag a frame or reuse the last one, or capture a whole display. Pick the mode on the selection itself, then Capture, or Copy to the clipboard without opening the editor; a small card offers Annotate or Open in Library.

    macOSShipped
    WindowsIn progress

  • Blur and a clean background

    Capture

    Blur an email or a token in a screenshot, then frame the shot on a clean background.

    macOSShipped
    WindowsIn progress

  • Save every screenshot automatically

    Capture

    A setting that keeps every screenshot in your library the moment you take it, or only once you click Save. Automatic is the default, so a capture is never lost.

    macOSShipped
    WindowsIn progress

  • Name a screenshot as you make it

    Capture

    A title field in the screenshot editor, filled in for you and editable before and after saving, so captures are named where you make them.

    macOSShipped
    WindowsIn progress

  • Export screenshots as PDF

    Capture

    Save an annotated screenshot as a sharp one-page PDF, ready to send or print, next to the usual PNG.

    macOSShipped
    WindowsIn progress

  • Built-in video editor

    Edit

    Trim and export your recordings without leaving the app, with a poster thumbnail generated for every edited video.

    macOSShipped
    WindowsIn progress

  • An Editor that starts where you left off

    Edit

    The Editor lists what you worked on last, with filters and each video's export state, and opens a pasted image straight in the image editor.

    macOSShipped
    WindowsIn progress

  • Automatic zoom in videos

    Edit

    Record clean, then let the editor zoom in on every click so the detail you point at is readable. Each zoom is a segment you can move, resize or delete, next to blur and cover regions for anything that should stay private.

    macOSShipped
    WindowsIn progress

  • Mute a stretch of a video

    Edit

    Silence a cough or a notification in the editor, or the whole recording, without touching the original file.

    macOSShipped
    WindowsIn progress

  • Export for where it is going

    Edit

    Pick a destination such as GitHub, Slack or YouTube, or keep Balanced, and get a file that fits. Share reuses an export you already made, exports run in the background with progress, and Maximum quality is one setting away.

    macOSShipped
    WindowsIn progress

  • Library of recordings

    Find

    Every capture lands in one library with previews, renaming, and recovery for imported or interrupted recordings.

    macOSShipped
    WindowsIn progress

  • Colored tags for your captures

    Find

    Tag recordings and screenshots, give each tag a color, then filter and search the library by tag so a long history stays findable.

    macOSShipped
    WindowsIn progress

  • Accounts and email verification

    Cloud

    Sign up, sign in, reset a forgotten password and verify your email. Recording itself still works with no account at all.

    macOSShipped
    WindowsIn progress

  • Kaipu Cloud foundations

    Cloud

    One library that merges local files with your cloud catalogue, per-account caching, save modes, capacity limits, and removing a local copy while keeping the cloud one.

    macOSShipped
    WindowsIn progress

  • Light and dark theme, English and Spanish

    App

    The whole app follows a shared design-token palette in both themes, and is fully translated into English and Spanish.

    macOSShipped
    WindowsIn progress

  • No watermark, on any plan

    App

    The free app records, edits and exports without a watermark. A small "Made with Kaipu" badge is there if you want to credit the tool, and it is off by default.

    macOSShipped
    WindowsIn progress

  • Signed installer

    App

    A build your system trusts out of the box, with no security warning on the first launch.

    macOS builds are already signed and notarized by Apple. The first Windows beta ships unsigned; the steps for its warning are below.

  • Your own watermark on exports

    App

    Stamp exports with your own logo, with control over position, size and opacity. Kaipu's own badge stays optional and off; this is about carrying your brand, not ours.

  • Refreshed logo and identity

    A sharper logo and a consistent visual identity across the app, the site and the installers.

WindowsBeta

Kaipu for Windows is in beta.

Recording and screenshots, ready to try.

The Windows beta records your screen, takes screenshots, edits and keeps your library. It is not code-signed yet; signing is in progress. The rows above turn to shipped on Windows one at a time, as each feature is checked on real Windows machines.

Download for Windows (beta)

Windows 10 or later · 64-bit

Expect a SmartScreen warning

The beta is not signed yet, so Windows is cautious the first time you run it. Two clicks get you through.

  1. 1Run the installer
  2. 2Click “More info”
  3. 3Choose “Run anyway”

A beta can break. Your captures are ordinary files on your disk, so uninstalling never takes them with it.

Next time, show it with Kaipu.
