Capture Your Best Moments

Professional-grade features inspired by NVIDIA ShadowPlay

FEATURED

Real-time Screen Recording

Record your gameplay or desktop in real time.
High-quality output with minimal performance impact, fully powered by NVIDIA NVENC hardware acceleration.

  • - Hardware-accelerated encoding
  • - Low CPU Usage
  • - Supports multiple formats
READY

Instant Replay

Never miss the action. Automatically capture and save the last few minutes of your gameplay with a single click.

READY

Screenshot

Snap crisp, high-resolution screenshots instantly — perfect for sharing or reviewing your best moments.

SAFE

No-Hook Architecture

Safe and secure by design. No memory injection, no hooks — just pure stability.

FAST

NVIDIA Hardware Acceleration

Fully optimized with NVIDIA NVENC via FFmpeg. Fast, efficient, and reliable GPU-based encoding.

Modern capture APIs + hardware encoder status

Encoder Support

NVIDIA NVENC

Ready

Full GPU encoding via FFmpeg, minimal performance impact.

Intel QSV

Partial

Intel QuickSync Video support — planned.

AMD AMF

Soon

AMD Advanced Media Framework encoder on roadmap.


API Capture

Windows.Graphics.Capture

Ready

Modern Windows 10/11 API, high-performance, borderless window capture. Recommended.

Desktop Duplication API

Recommended

DirectX-based duplication, minimal latency, captures exclusive fullscreen (with limitations).

GDI Screen Grabber

Partial

Legacy fallback, CPU heavy. Use only when needed.

System Requirements

Ensure your system meets these requirements for optimal performance.

IMPORTANT — Runtime Dependencies

.NET 8.0 Desktop Runtime — Required for application execution

.NET 4.8 Framework — Additional framework dependency

Operating System: Windows 8 / Server 2012 or newer (Windows 7 is NOT supported)

CAUTION — Known Limitations

Exclusive Fullscreen applications cannot be captured due to no-hook design on older Windows builds.

Please use "Borderless Windowed" mode in your games for reliable recording.

Some DRM-protected content (Netflix, etc.) cannot be recorded due to protection mechanisms.

TIP — Performance Optimization

For best performance, use NVIDIA hardware encoders (e.g., h264_nvenc) via FFmpeg.

Recommended Resolution: 1920 x 1080

Modular Architecture

Each module with distinct border color — real stack components

API/

Screen capture abstraction: Windows.Graphics.Capture, Desktop Duplication, GDI fallback. Provides unified interface for frame grabbing.

App Experience/

User settings, hotkey manager, UI state, theming, and configuration persistence. Responsive design and smooth animations.

Engine/

FFmpeg encoding pipeline, replay buffer management, hardware acceleration dispatcher, and recording session controller.

Notifier/

System tray integration, toast notifications, error reporting, status updates, and user alerts for recording events.

Overlay/

In-game borderless overlay with FPS counter, recording timer, hotkey hints. Built with No-Hook for anti-cheat compatibility.

Coming Soon/

Nahhhh, i need boost speeded
This is new feature.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the project

We avoid memory injection to ensure compatibility with anti-cheat systems and maintain system stability. This makes the app safer for online gaming.
Due to digital rights management, most streaming platforms block screen capture. This is a limitation of Windows itself, not our app.
You can still use software encoding (x264) but performance may be lower. We plan to add Intel QSV and AMD AMF in future updates.
Fork the repository, make your changes, and submit a pull request. We welcome improvements, bug fixes, and documentation updates.
