About

Capture anything from any browser tab. Audio as MP3, video as WebM, full-page screenshots as PNG, and transcripts as text. Four capture modes in one extension. How it works:

- Click the extension icon (or press Alt+Shift+C) to open
- Pick a mode: Audio, Video, Transcript, or Screenshot
- Click the action button. Your file downloads instantly.

Audio capture:
- Record tab audio as high-quality MP3
- Live waveform visualization
- Quality settings (128, 192, 320 kbps Pro)
- Volume boost (1.5x, 2x, 3x)

Video capture:
- Record any tab as WebM video with full audio
- Quality settings (Standard, High, Maximum Pro)
- MP4 export (H.264+AAC) with Pro

Transcript capture:
- Extract existing transcripts from YouTube videos and other captioned pages
- Side panel UI that follows you across tabs
- Save as plain text (TXT). SRT subtitles with timestamps with Pro
- Reads existing captions. Does not record audio. Does not run speech recognition.

Screenshot capture:
- Capture the visible area instantly
- Full-page scroll-stitch capture with Pro
- Saves as high-resolution PNG

Privacy first:
- All capture and encoding runs locally in your browser
- Files save straight to your Downloads folder
- The only network requests are: a YouTube captions fetch when extracting a YouTube transcript, and a one-time Pro license validation if you choose to upgrade

Optional Pro upgrade ($19.99 one-time):
- 320 kbps audio, unlimited recording
- MP4 video, maximum quality, unlimited recording
- SRT subtitle export with timestamps for transcripts
- Full-page screenshot capture
- Save $20 vs buying each mode individually ($9.99 each)
