CaptureCam
Record your screen. No ads, no accounts, no internet access.
// What it does

Pause and resume any time. Optional on-screen 3-2-1 countdown so you can get ready.
Controls at hand

Your way

Built-in gallery

Private by design
No ads, no trackers. It does not even have the internet permission: it cannot send anything anywhere.
