Captail v0.8.8

Warning

Captail 0.8.8 is an early public preview. Bugs and hardware-specific issues are expected.

Fixed

• Unified overlay status icons: Recording, stopping, saving, recovery, warning, information, and error overlays now use the same lightweight Lucide geometry and consistent stroke weight; the persistent replay indicator follows the same circular state language.

Downloads

• Installer (recommended): Captail-0.8.8-Setup-win-x64.exe includes Captail, .NET, libobs, FFmpeg, and an uninstaller.
• Portable: extract the entire Captail-0.8.8-Portable-win-x64.zip before launching Captail.exe.

Compatibility and feedback

Captail is tested on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 and RTX 50 series. Older NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel hardware needs broader public testing. Report problems through GitHub Issues.

Release binaries are not Authenticode-signed yet. Windows may show an unknown-publisher or SmartScreen warning. Use SHA256SUMS.txt and GitHub build provenance to verify the download.

Captail v0.8.6

Warning

Captail 0.8.6 is an early public preview. Bugs and hardware-specific issues are expected.

Captail v0.8.5

Warning

Captail 0.8.5 is an early public preview. Bugs and hardware-specific issues are expected.

Improved

• Complete icon-system unification: Consolidated every Captail-owned action, status, checkbox, notification, replay indicator, app, tray, favicon, and social icon into the same compact geometry, rounded construction, and coral-and-ice visual language. Third-party process icons remain unchanged so applications stay recognizable.

Captail v0.8.4

Warning

Captail 0.8.4 is an early public preview. Bugs and hardware-specific issues are expected.

Captail v0.8.3

Warning

Captail 0.8.3 is an early public preview. Bugs and hardware-specific issues are expected.

Fixed

• Recording indicator after Windows startup: Reapplies the indicator's native window bounds after its first rendered frame, so the recording status icon appears reliably on the first Captail launch after turning on the PC.

Downloads

• Installer (recommended): Captail-0.8.3-Setup-win-x64.exe includes Captail, .NET, libobs, FFmpeg, and an uninstaller.

Captail v0.8.2

Warning

Captail 0.8.2 is an early public preview. Bugs and hardware-specific issues are expected.

Improved

• Fast clip editor timeline generation: Parallelized frame thumbnail extraction across CPU cores with bounded concurrency, reducing clip editor opening time by up to 3–4× when working with unindexed video files.
• RAM buffer memory safety: Set a default 2000 MB buffer ceiling for newly created configurations to prevent unbounded memory growth during high-resolution (1440p/4K) or high-bitrate instant replay sessions, while fully preserving explicit duration-only user choices.
• Disk buffer diagnostics and observability: Replaced silent catch blocks in disk buffer cleanup, segment pruning, and volume space inspection with actionable diagnostic logging.

Downloads

• Installer (recommended): Captail-0.8.2-Setup-win-x64.exe includes Captail, .NET, libobs, FFmpeg, and an uninstaller.

Captail v0.8.1

Warning

Captail 0.8.1 is an early public preview. Bugs and hardware-specific issues are expected.

Fixed

• Unsaved settings prompt: The warning rail now replaces the settings heading while it is visible, so the two text layers no longer overlap.
• Notification text clipping: Overlay notifications reserve enough vertical space for both title and detail text, preventing the bottom of characters from being cut off.

Downloads

• Installer (recommended): Captail-0.8.1-Setup-win-x64.exe includes Captail, .NET, libobs, FFmpeg, and an uninstaller.

Captail v0.8.0

Warning

Captail 0.8.0 is an early public preview. Bugs and hardware-specific issues are expected.

Added

• Shadowplay-style rolling disk buffer: Write replay buffer segments directly to disk instead of system RAM. Keeps system memory free during long gaming sessions while supporting extended replay windows without memory bloat.
• Replay buffer storage selection: Choose between in-memory RAM buffer and disk buffer storage in settings, with a dedicated custom directory picker to place temporary buffer segments on high-speed NVMe storage.
• Extended replay duration presets: Added 20-minute and 30-minute buffer lengths, enabling capture of full competitive matches and extended gameplay sessions.
• Bit-exact instant assembly: Clips are assembled via rapid stream-copy concatenation without re-encoding, preserving 100% video and audio quality with zero encoder interruption.

Downloads

• Installer (recommended): Captail-0.8.0-Setup-win-x64.exe includes Captail, .NET, libobs, FFmpeg, and an uninstaller.

Full changelog: v0.7.1...v0.8.0

Captail v0.7.1

Warning

Captail 0.7.1 is an early public preview. Bugs and hardware-specific issues are expected.

Improved

• Application and tray icon polish: Replaced the legacy mint Windows and system tray icons with canonical coral rounded-square marks featuring exact horizontal and vertical symmetry across all generated 16–256 px frames, plus a muted inactive tray variant.
• Recording status visual alignment: Aligned dashboard recording state markers and the compact in-game status indicator with the 0.7 coral palette, clearly distinguishing Instant Replay (dashed outline) from manual recording (solid outline) with device-pixel snapping.
• Capture source indicator states: Dims inactive Game and Microphone audio source status dots on the dashboard instead of showing active accent color for idle inputs.
