Takes
Create and edit talking-head videos with an automated voice-tracking teleprompter, synchronized screen recording, and AI agent editing via MCP.
Takes is an open-source Mac and iOS video production suite designed specifically for talking-head content creators. It combines synchronized camera and screen recording with a voice-following teleprompter, keeping all files stored locally on your device for complete privacy. Through its built-in Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, Takes integrates seamlessly with AI coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor, enabling them to draft storyboards, execute video cuts, generate vertical formats, and compose platform-native social media drafts directly from your prompt commands.
