Rationale

Cap is explicitly marketed as an 'open source Loom alternative' and its core functionality revolves around screen recording and sharing. The website mentions 'record, edit and share videos in seconds,' directly aligning with screen recording, basic video editing, and instant shared links. It also highlights 'Multi-Platform Support' for macOS and Windows, and the ability to 'Connect your own storage, domain & more' which implies control over sharing and potentially password protection for self-hosted content. The mobile app is mentioned in the download section as 'Mobile App Support'.
