Screen recorder + meeting notes for Mac · Coming soon
A screen recorder and a meeting note-taker in one Mac app. For how-to videos, put your camera on the screen and show every click and keyboard shortcut. For meetings, record the other side too — after you stop, CapRex writes the transcript and meeting notes. Audio and text never leave this Mac.
First 3 recordings free, any lengthPaid: monthly, yearly or one-timemacOS 26+, M1 or later
Japanese UI at launch. Sold in Japan first.
Two uses
A screen recorder for how-to videos and a note-taker for meetings — CapRex is both. Everything you record lands in the same library.
Both in CapRex
For walkthroughs, handovers and bug reports
For team meetings, client calls and online lessons
Summaries and meeting notes need a Mac with Apple Intelligence (transcripts work without it). Illustrations only.
Screen recording
Clicks & keys
Click ripples, cursor highlight, keystrokes, auto zoom, an on-screen pen and a round camera bubble go into the video as you record, so there’s nothing to add in an editor later.
Audio
Sound playing on your Mac (people on a call, app audio) and your own voice from the mic go into one video with the screen — audio that ⌘⇧5 can’t capture on macOS 26.
Transcripts
When you stop, CapRex turns what you said into text and adds captions, a summary and chapters — so you can jump right to the part you need. It all runs on this Mac.
Meetings & notes
No bot joins your call — the other side’s voice is recorded as it plays on your Mac. When you stop, CapRex writes the transcript and meeting notes (summary, decisions, to-dos) right on this Mac.
Accuracy & privacy
The other side comes from Mac audio, you come from the mic — recorded separately, then transcribed. Speech recognition and meeting notes both run on this Mac with Apple’s built-in tools, so once the speech model is installed, they work even with Wi-Fi off. Your first 3 recordings are free with no length limit — check the accuracy on your own meetings, then choose.
Let the other side know before you record.
How it works
1
Press the keys, or click the dino in the menu bar. Works from any app.
2
Choose what to record and hit Record. The mic and camera turn on only when you choose them.
3
Recordings go to Movies › CapRex. Find every one in the Library (⌃⇧⌘L).
Illustrations only. Real screenshots of the app will be added before launch.
And more
Features tagged “Paid” are paid only (asking your recordings is free for your first 3). Free: your first 3 recordings have no length limit; from the 4th, up to 3 minutes each. Free videos get a small watermark either way. Screenshots are free, without a watermark.
Privacy
Nothing to sign up for. Recordings, transcripts and summaries are made on this Mac.
Only the speech recognition model is downloaded from Apple, when you click Download in Settings.
Keystrokes appear only when you turn the display on. They go into the video, and no keystroke log is kept.
The app’s logs hold only counts, times and kinds — never transcript text or titles.
| Screen & system audio recording | During first setup. For recording the screen and Mac audio |
|---|---|
| Microphone | Only when you choose the mic for a recording |
| Camera | Only when you choose the camera |
| Input Monitoring | Only when you turn on “Show keystrokes” |
CapRex never asks for Accessibility, Full Disk Access, Location or Notifications.

For meeting notes alone, there are cloud AI note-takers. CapRex keeps your audio and text on this Mac, with no time cap.

FAQ
Your first 3 recordings have no length limit — transcripts, summaries, meeting notes and asking your recordings included (videos get a small watermark). From the 4th, recordings are up to 3 minutes each, and asking your recordings becomes paid. Screenshots are free without a watermark. The to-do list, saving the last minutes and the prompt to record when a call starts are paid only. Buying removes the time limit and the watermark.
We’ll announce the launch date on this page as soon as it’s set.
There’s one paid version with everything, and three ways to pay: monthly or yearly (both renew automatically), or a one-time purchase. The one-time purchase covers version 1, and one-time owners can buy 2.0 at half price. Prices outside Japan will be posted here before international sales start.
The features are the same, so pick by how long you’ll use it. For a few months, monthly. For a year, yearly costs less than 12 months of monthly. For more than 2 years, the one-time purchase costs less (2.0 is half price for one-time owners). To switch from monthly or yearly to one-time, simply buy the one-time purchase (what you’ve paid isn’t credited).
Monthly and yearly plans keep their price for as long as you stay subscribed.
Recording and screenshots work for free (your first 3 recordings have no length limit, then up to 3 minutes each; videos get a small watermark). You can also go monthly just for the months you need long recordings.
Anytime, online, from the “Manage subscription” page linked in your purchase email. You keep the paid version until the end of the period you paid for. For the yearly plan, we email you the amount and date 15 days before each renewal. When it ends, you’re back on the free plan (up to 3 minutes per recording, with a small watermark), and your recordings stay where they are.
One key works on every Mac you use yourself.
Since you can try your first 3 recordings before buying, we don’t offer refunds for a change of mind. We do give a full refund if it doesn’t work properly on a supported Mac and we can’t fix it, if you paid twice or bought the wrong plan (within 14 days of purchase), or for a yearly auto-renewal (within 14 days of the renewal date). See Refunds (Japanese).
By card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Your license key arrives by email right after payment.
It depends on how people speak, the mic and the room. Your first 3 recordings have no length limit, so try it on your usual meetings before you decide. Your voice and theirs are transcribed separately — they separate most cleanly with headphones. Everyone on the other side counts as one speaker (not split by name).
Summaries are made by the AI on your Mac (Apple Intelligence), so they can be shorter than those from cloud AI note-takers. In return, your audio and text never leave your Mac. The full transcript is kept, so you can check the details there, or by asking your recordings.
Yes. Choose the spoken language in Settings (Japanese, English and more).
Summaries, chapters and questions use Apple Intelligence, which runs on your Mac. They work on supported Macs with Apple Intelligence turned on. Recording and transcripts work without it.
Macs with Apple silicon (M1 or later) running macOS 26 or later.
Yes. Recording, transcripts, summaries and the license check all run on your Mac. Only the speech recognition model is downloaded from Apple, the first time you click Download in Settings. On the monthly and yearly plans, the app goes online around the key’s expiry date to receive the new key.
In Movies › CapRex by default. You can choose another place, such as Desktop or Documents. Transcript, caption and summary files are saved next to each recording.
Not at launch. The app starts in Japanese, so we’ll sell in Japan first. The English app and international sales come after that.
