About
OmaCap is a local screen recorder and quick video editor built for the Omarchy Linux desktop, letting users record a window, trim and clean up footage, add padding, background, shadow, and zoom sections, then export the result as MP4 or GIF. It can also capture microphone, desktop audio, and camera, and all processing stays on the user's machine.
At a glance
OmaCap combines screen capture and a short editing workflow on Omarchy. It is worth trying if you regularly turn a terminal walkthrough or feature demo into a clipped MP4 or GIF and want to do it in one tool.
Good fit
Omarchy users who need quick annotations, cuts and zooms on short screen recordings.
Consider something else when
Look elsewhere if you need supported capture on another desktop, team editing or a full video timeline.
Start here
Record a few seconds of a harmless demo window, trim the opening and add one zoom where a detail matters. Preview the result before exporting and check the background and audio for unintended information.
Cost and requirements
MIT-licensed. The packaged release targets current Omarchy stable on x86_64. The project documents Hyprland and PipeWire as its target environment.
Limits to know
The project documents local editing and export. A recording can still include desktop or microphone audio and visible secrets, depending on what you capture.
