Tamp

Shrink screen recordings to a target size, right from your menu bar.

You record your screen, and your OS hands you a 300 MB file that Discord, Slack, or your bug tracker refuses to accept. Tamp fixes that in one click:

1. Click the Tamp icon in your menu bar (system tray on Windows) — it lists your latest recordings.
2. Click a video — Tamp computes the exact bitrate to land just under your target size (say, 10 MB) and encodes on the GPU. It never hands you a file over the target.
3. Paste. The compressed file is saved next to the original and (optionally) already on your clipboard, ready to drop into any chat.

Everything runs on your machine with a bundled FFmpeg — no uploads, no telemetry, no account.
