In design
Snagit-class capture on every device, without the subscription.
Kestrel Capture is a local-first screen capture and annotation suite for support agents, technical writers, testers and teachers: full screen, window, region, scrolling page, timed capture and OCR text grab, with a layered, non-destructive editor.
Why another capture tool
The market splits into a premium desktop-only tool that moved to subscriptions, free tools with weak editors, and video-only cloud products. Nothing gives a real editor on Windows, macOS, iOS, Android and ChromeOS at an indie, pay-once price.
Capture anything
Screen, window, region, scrolling window or web page, panoramic, multi-monitor, timed, and video with system and microphone audio.
A real editor
Arrows, callouts, numbered steps, blur and pixelate, crop, resize, stamps and text, all as editable layers you can change later.
Library and search
Every capture lands in a local library with OCR text, so you can find the screenshot that contained a given error message.
Share on your terms
Copy, save, or share by an end-to-end encrypted link that expires. No public galleries.
Light
A small native core with a fast editor. No background services eating memory.
Pay once
One licence per person, every device, a year of updates. No per-seat subscriptions.
Where it stands
The architecture, interface design and business plan are complete and the shared core is scaffolded. Development starts after the current products ship their next releases; Windows desktop comes first.
