Capso Screenshot Macos

This teaches Claude about Capso's modular architecture so it can help you either use the app or pull its individual Swift Package Manager modules into your own macOS project. The real value is in the eight standalone packages: CaptureKit wraps ScreenCaptureKit, AnnotationKit handles drawing and beautification, OCRKit does Vision-based text recognition, and RecordingKit manages screen recording with audio mixing. If you're building a Mac app that needs any screenshot or screen recording functionality, you can grab just the packages you need without taking the whole app. Built with Swift 6 and SwiftUI for macOS 15+, requires XcodeGen to build from source.

Capso Screenshot & Screen Recording Skill

Skill by ara.so — Daily 2026 Skills collection.

Capso is a fully native, open-source macOS screenshot and screen recording app — a free alternative to CleanShot X. Built with Swift 6.0 and SwiftUI targeting macOS 15.0+. Its key strength for developers is a modular SPM architecture: 8 independent packages (CaptureKit, AnnotationKit, OCRKit, etc.) you can embed individually in your own app.
