rolltape 0.1.0
First public release. Hold a key. Tape rolls.
rolltape is a push-to-hold screen clip recorder for Windows: hold F9 and the chosen monitor records with system audio; release and an editor-safe constant-60fps H.264 MP4 lands in Videos\Clips. Quick-tap F9 to lock recording hands-free; tap again to stop. The on-screen recording pill is excluded from the capture itself.
Install
Download rolltape 0.1.0.exe (portable, no installer) and run it. It lives in the system tray — right-click for settings, mic toggle, and start-with-Windows.
Verify the download:
certutil -hashfile "rolltape 0.1.0.exe" SHA256
and compare against SHA256SUMS.txt. Note: the exe is currently unsigned, so SmartScreen may warn on first run.
Notes
- Windows 10 2004+ required
- NVIDIA GPUs use NVENC for fast finalization; others fall back to CPU x264
- Known limitations (DRM blackout, loopback captures notification sounds) are documented in the README and design docs
