System requirements: macOS 14.0 (Sonoma) or later. Universal binary — runs natively on Apple Silicon and Intel.
Install
- Click the download button above.
- macOS unzips the download automatically. (If it didn’t, double-click
the
.zipin your Downloads folder.) - Drag
MacXCapture.appto yourApplicationsfolder. - Open it from
Applications(or right-click → Open the first time, but you shouldn’t have to — the build is signed and Apple-notarized, so first launch is clean).
That’s it. No installer, no helper daemons, no kernel extensions. The
whole thing is just an .app bundle.
What’s in the download
- The macXcapture GUI app (record / open / replay).
- The
macxcaptureCLI tool bundled inside the .app atMacXCapture.app/Contents/MacOS/macxcapture. Symlink it into your$PATHif you want to scriptize captures (the GUI uses the same binary under the hood).
