I got it working. Catalina asked me to give Kap access to screen recording. I first clicked it away, then I had to look for it in the preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Screen Recording

then i don't know if its still a bug, but is it documented :D

We're working on finding a way to check and point you to the settings when the permissions is not there, instead of failing silently 👍

These permissions are new in Catalina, so there's not a lot of documentation around them yet
