Description

macOS version: Monterey (12) Kap version: 3.5.2

Steps to reproduce

  1. Start Kap
  2. Click Kap's icon in the top bar to start a recording

Current behavior

Kap's recording UI appears after 3 seconds, sometimes more.

Expected behavior

Kap's recording UI to appear in less than 300ms

Workaround

It looks like I can draw the recording box before the UI appears

M1 Max 64gb, macOS 12.1

Update: Unfortunately, 3.5.3 did not solve the problem for me. I also made sure to use the M1 binary.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the initialization sequence of the recording UI. Look for any delays in rendering or state changes that cause the 3 second wait. Use profiling tools to identify bottlenecks.
