What you frame is what you get

MadCapture records only what's inside the frame, so the take that comes out is the video you wanted.

Floating Frame

Drag the frame anywhere and resize from any corner, even while you're recording. The output stays one fixed, crisp size.

Mic + desktop audio

Record your voice, your computer's sound, or both mixed together, kept in sync with the video automatically.

Follow Cursor

The frame glides smoothly after your mouse, keeping the action centered. Press Esc any time to release it.

Click-through frame

Make the frame ignore your mouse entirely, so you can work in the apps beneath it while it records.

Webcam bubble

Put your face in the corner of the recording. Drag it, pin it, resize it. Perfect for tutorials and reaction content.

Invisible in your footage

The red frame and the control panel never show up in your footage. All you get is the content you framed.

Smooth 60 FPS

Record at 30 or 60 frames per second into a crisp, hardware-accelerated H.264 MP4 that plays everywhere.

Featherweight

Practically zero CPU while idle and light while recording, so your machine's power goes to the thing you're recording.

Vertical, without the crop.

Making Shorts, Reels, or TikToks from screen content usually means recording widescreen, then cropping in an editor and hoping the important part survives. MadCapture records 9:16 straight from your screen.

  • 16:9, 9:16, and 1:1 presets, or resize freely

  • Frame the exact region your short needs, nothing else

  • Webcam bubble + mic for commentary on top

  • Upload the MP4 as-is, no editing pass required

Drop the frame over what you want to capture. Pick 16:9, 9:16, or 1:1, or just drag the corners to taste.

Hit Record

Toggle mic, desktop audio, webcam bubble, or cursor-follow. Then press the big red button.
