Browser GUI capture

Trigger native macOS capture from the localhost interface.

Updated 22 July 2026Applies to 0.3.3

How capture works

A browser action calls the localhost OpenSS API. The Python capture service—not browser getDisplayMedia—captures Chrome, Word or PowerPoint and runs native OCR.

Requirements

  • Keep the openss gui Terminal process running.
  • Allow Screen Recording for the process that owns capture.
  • Open a supported target.
  • Keep the target on the display expected by the capture rules.
