The problem
Some recordings are too sensitive for a share link.
Product demos can include unreleased features. Bug reports can expose customer data. Meetings can contain confidential decisions. SafeCap is built for those moments when you still need a clear recording, but you do not want another cloud workspace holding the original file.
What it helps you do
Capture the context, keep the original.
SafeCap focuses on the core workflow: record, review, find, download, and delete. No accounts, dashboards, or hosted video library to maintain.
Keep sensitive work off SafeCap servers
Recordings are written to local browser storage. SafeCap does not require an account, run product analytics, or upload your videos to a backend.
Build a private recording library
Save recordings with useful metadata, search by name, tab, URL, or date, and play them back from a local library when you need the reference.
Share only the files you choose
Review recordings locally, adjust playback speed, then download a WebM file when you are ready to send it through Slack, GitHub, Jira, or email.
Find useful moments faster
When supported by your browser, SafeCap can save transcripts and browser-generated summaries or chapters so long recordings are easier to scan.
Use cases
Made for work you cannot casually upload.
Product demos
Walk through a feature, prototype, or staging environment and keep the unedited source recording local until you decide what to share.
Bug reports
Capture the exact browser flow with narration so teammates or clients can reproduce an issue without scheduling another call.
Private meeting archive
Save important browser-based meetings locally for later review, especially when the conversation does not belong in another cloud recording tool.
Client handoffs
Record async walkthroughs for freelance clients while controlling when and where the final WebM file is shared.
Privacy by design
No SafeCap account. No SafeCap cloud. No telemetry.
SafeCap is designed around a simple promise: the extension helps you create recordings, but you stay in control of the files.

FAQ
Questions privacy-conscious users ask first.
Does SafeCap upload my recordings?
No. SafeCap does not upload recordings to SafeCap servers and does not require an account. Recordings are stored locally in your browser until you download or delete them.
Is SafeCap a hosted Loom replacement?
SafeCap is focused on local capture and local review. It is useful when you want a recording file without a hosted sharing workspace. You choose where to send the downloaded WebM file.
Can I record Google Meet, Zoom, or Teams?
SafeCap can record browser-based meetings when Chrome allows the selected tab, window, or screen to be captured. Meeting audio availability depends on Chrome's capture prompt and the meeting app.
What file format does SafeCap export?
SafeCap currently records and downloads WebM files, a browser-native format that works well for high-quality local recording.
Why does the extension need permissions?
SafeCap needs capture permissions to record your screen or microphone, storage permissions to save recordings locally, download permissions to export files, and tab access to name recordings with useful context.
How do transcripts and summaries work?
When available, SafeCap uses browser-provided speech recognition and summarization APIs to make recordings easier to scan. SafeCap does not send transcripts, summaries, or recordings to its own servers.
Which browsers are supported?
SafeCap is built for Chrome. Chromium-based browsers such as Edge may work, but Chrome is the primary target for now.
Who built SafeCap?
SafeCap is built by Nirjan Khadka, a software developer building practical, privacy-minded tools for the browser.
