QuickTake

QuickTake is a local-first macOS screen capture and recording experiment built with Tauri, Rust, React and TypeScript.

The repository is public, but the app is still pre-release. There is no signed or notarized public desktop build yet.

Current State

• Public repository: https://github.com/Boblebol/QuickTake
• Version metadata: 0.1.0
• Platform target: macOS 13+
• Release status: no GitHub Release published yet
• License: MIT
• Portfolio: https://alexandre-enouf.fr

Features In Progress

• Region screenshot capture.
• Basic screenshot preview and editor flow.
• Screen recording flow with microphone audio target.
• Tauri desktop shell and macOS permissions work.
• Landing page under landing/.

Requirements

• Node.js 18+
• pnpm
• Rust stable
• macOS 13+
• Xcode Command Line Tools

Development

pnpm install
pnpm run tauri-dev

Run the web shell only:

pnpm run dev

Build the desktop bundle locally:

pnpm run tauri-build

Tests

pnpm run test
pnpm run test:e2e

The end-to-end suite requires the local app environment and may need macOS screen recording permissions depending on the scenario.

Landing Page

The static landing page lives in landing/. It intentionally links to the source repository instead of a DMG download until a release exists.

Public Readiness Notes

Before presenting QuickTake as a finished public app, the remaining work is:

• publish a GitHub Release with installable artifacts;
• decide whether to sign and notarize macOS builds;
• finish permission and FFmpeg error handling;
• verify the capture and recording flows on a clean macOS machine;
• add release notes and screenshots.
