v1.2.2
48d8e79

The first public release of Simple Recorder: a free, open source screen recorder for Windows 10 and 11. No account, no watermark, no time limit.

Download

SimpleRecorder-Setup.exe. It installs for your Windows user only (no administrator rights) and adds Start Menu and desktop shortcuts. Windows may say Windows protected your PC because the setup is not signed yet: click More info, then Run anyway.

What it does

  • A floating recorder bar that stays on top: record, pause, stop, start delay, frame rate, sound, and what to record.
  • Record the screen under your pointer, a window you pick, or an area you drag.
  • 720p, 1080p, or 1440p at 24, 30, or 60 fps, saved as MP4.
  • Microphone with a level meter, start delay, auto stop, and Ctrl+Shift+Alt+S to stop from anywhere.
  • A Takes page with every recording grouped by day.

New in this release

  • Backups to keep in Settings. Before an update installs, the app saves a checked copy of its settings database. You can now keep the newest 2 (the default), 5, 10, or all of them, or turn them off. Lowering the limit removes the oldest copies right away; nothing else in the folder is touched.
  • Your data when switching in Settings shows which build this copy is and opens the backups folder.
  • Updates are anonymous: the app never reads a GitHub sign-in or token to check for or download public releases.
  • Every update package is checked against the SHA-256 in its release's latest.json before it installs.
  • Licensed under MIT.

Privacy

No analytics or telemetry. The only network request is the update check to this repository's GitHub Releases. Recordings stay on your computer.
