About this release
Overview
This is a focused capture tool rather than a broadcast suite. You pick a region, a window or a whole display, choose which audio sources to record, and press record. The overlay stays small and can be hidden entirely with a hotkey, and the frame rate goes up to sixty for anything where motion matters. Multiple monitors are handled properly, including recording one display while working on another.
Audio is recorded as separate tracks. System audio and the microphone go to their own streams so you can balance them afterwards or drop one entirely, which is the difference between a usable tutorial recording and one where a notification sound buried the narration. A webcam overlay can be placed in any corner at any size, or recorded on its own track to be repositioned later.
After a capture the built in trimmer opens with the recording loaded. Cut the dead air off the start and end, remove a middle section, and export to MP4, MOV, AVI or GIF with hardware encoding where the machine supports it. Drawing tools during recording let you highlight a region, draw an arrow or type a note on screen, and mouse click highlighting and keystroke display can be turned on for instructional material.
What it does
Feature breakdown
Flexible capture area
Full screen, a single display in a multi-monitor setup, a specific window that follows if it moves, or a freely drawn region with preset aspect ratios.
Separate audio tracks
System sound and microphone recorded independently with level meters and per-source gain, so one can be lowered or dropped after the fact.
Webcam overlay
Place a camera feed anywhere on the frame at any size, with an option to record it as its own track for repositioning during editing.
On-screen drawing and annotation
Draw lines, arrows and shapes over the capture while recording, with a colour picker and a clear command bound to a hotkey.
Mouse and keystroke display
Highlight the cursor, show click animations and display pressed keys on screen, which turns a raw capture into usable instructional footage.
Trim and export without an editor
The recording opens in a trimmer immediately, with cutting, joining and export presets for common destinations including animated GIF.

Release notes
From whoever packed it
- Record to a different physical drive than the one holding the content being recorded if you can. It removes most dropped frames.
- System audio capture needs the loopback device enabled in the Windows sound panel on some machines.
- The updater is disabled here. Leave it off, an update reverts the activation.

Questions about this release
Answered before you ask
- Is there a time limit or watermark?
- No. The activation removes both, which is the point of this build.
- Can it record a game?
- Yes for most, using display capture. Some titles with anti-cheat protection block capture at the driver level regardless of the tool.
- Does it record two microphones at once?
- One microphone plus system audio. For more sources you would want a full broadcast application.
