Feature · Capture

Capture the test while you run it.

Microfilm’s desktop app sits beside your browser and records the session — screen, voice narration, and screenshots — against the specific check you’re verifying. The evidence is captured at the moment of work, not reconstructed from memory afterward.

Availability · Free forever on the desktop app — macOS and Windows.

The problem

Test evidence reconstructed after the fact is weak evidence.

When testers finish a session and then assemble screenshots, write up what happened, and paste it into a ticket, the record is a retelling — minutes or hours removed from the work, easy to dispute, and missing the moments nobody thought to capture. In a regulated review, "I’m pretty sure I checked that" is not evidence.

How it works

What this gives you.

01

Capture beside the work, not after it

A lightweight desktop app runs next to your browser. Start a session and it records screen, voice, and screenshots together — so what you saw and what you said are captured in the same moment, against the check in front of you.

02

Every artifact is bound to a check

A screenshot or clip isn’t a loose file in a folder. Each piece of evidence is attached to the specific test case, acceptance criterion, or assertion it proves, so the link between "what was tested" and "what was seen" is never lost.

03

Multi-modal by default

Shot, video, and voice in one surface, plus quick structured notes. Narrate the edge case as you hit it; the explanation travels with the frame instead of living in someone’s head.

04

No migration, no second tool to manage

Your assigned tests, their acceptance criteria, the linked ticket, and prior notes already sit beside the capture surface. Testers don’t tour Jira, then git, then Slack to figure out what they’re verifying.

Where it fits

The first step of every Microfilm record

Session capture is where the evidence trail begins. What you record here becomes the signed, append-only record (signed evidence), feeds the self-building traceability matrix (audit export), and gives coding agents the context to act on failures (agent-ready context).

FAQ

Common questions.

Does the desktop capture app cost anything?

No. The desktop capture app is free forever and runs entirely on your machine. Paid cloud plans add shared workspaces, traceability, audit export, and the agent context server.

What does Microfilm record during a session?

Screen video, voice narration, and screenshots, plus structured notes — all captured against the specific test case or acceptance criterion you’re working on.

Which operating systems are supported?

The desktop capture app runs on macOS and Windows.

Where is captured data stored?

On the free desktop app, captures live on your own machine. On paid cloud plans, captures are isolated to your tenant, hosted in US regions, and never used to train any model; you set retention.
