Crate screencapturekit 

ScreenCaptureKit-rs

Rust bindings for macOS ScreenCaptureKit framework.

This crate provides safe, idiomatic Rust bindings for capturing screen content, windows, and applications on macOS 12.3+.

Features

• Screen and window capture
• Audio capture
• Real-time frame processing
• Configurable capture settings
• Zero external dependencies (uses custom Swift bridge)

Quick Start

use screencapturekit::prelude::*;

// Get shareable content
let content = SCShareableContent::get()?;
let display = &content.displays()[0];

// Create filter and configuration
let filter = SCContentFilter::builder()
    .display(display)
    .exclude_windows(&[])
    .build();
let mut config = SCStreamConfiguration::default();
config.set_width(1920);
config.set_height(1080);

// Create and start stream
let mut stream = SCStream::new(&filter, &config);
stream.start_capture()?;
