Cap for iOS launches with Instant Mode recording on iPhone

Cap launched Cap for iOS, a free iPhone app that records your screen or camera and gives you a share link the moment you stop.

This is the first iteration, and for now it launches with Instant Mode. Cap uploads the video while you record, so the link is ready as soon as you finish. A Live Activity keeps the time in the Dynamic Island, and one tap stops the recording. You can also upload videos and photos from Photos or Files to get a share link, and uploads continue in the background.

You can trim the start and end of a recording, or split it and cut what you don't need. The share link stays the same, and Cap updates the video for everyone. Caps can be public or private, with an optional password.

The app shares a library with Cap for Mac, Windows and the web, so you can record on desktop and catch up on your phone. Watch your team's Caps, comment at an exact moment, react with emoji, or read the summary, chapters or transcript instead of watching the whole video.

Cap for iOS needs iOS 26 or later. Cap says it'll improve the app over the next few months based on feedback.
