Windows screen & game recorder
Record your screen. Skip the overhead.
A low-overhead Windows screen and game recorder with an instant-replay buffer, built to run well on any GPU — including Intel integrated graphics.
Runs well on any GPU
Hardware H.264/HEVC where available, software fallback otherwise. Developed and measured on Intel integrated graphics.
No injection
Windows Graphics Capture or DXGI Desktop Duplication. Nothing is hooked into the game process.
Replay and exact frames
Pre-roll captures the seconds before you pressed record. Exact frame-count mode verified at 300 frames.
