| Core Engine | ✅ Ready for 2026 performance benchmarks |
| UI Framework | ✅ Responsive across desktop & tablet |
| Streaming Plugins | ✅ Pre-loaded for OBS & RTMP targets |
Traditional screen recorders impose artificial ceilings—watermarks, recording limits, and subscription gates. Our mission: provide a feature-complete recording laboratory that respects your sovereignty over your own screen. Think of it as a digital microscope for your workflow, not a locked display case.
By eliminating unnecessary restrictions, we free your creativity to flow without interruption. This isn't a tool for violation; it's a tool for amplification of your existing processes.

| OS | Version Range | UI Support | Hardware Acceleration |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🟢 Windows | 10–11 (x64) | ✅ Native | ✅ NVENC/AMF |
| 🔵 macOS | Ventura–Sonoma (Apple Silicon) | ✅ Native (Metal) | ✅ Video Toolbox |
| 🟣 Linux | Ubuntu 22.04+, Fedora 38+ | ✅ GTK4/Wayland | ✅ VA-API |
| 🟡 BSD | FreeBSD 14+ | ❌ Not supported |
Note: macOS Sonoma requires SIP to be enabled for partial capture permissions.
Note: Linux users need pipewire daemon for audio capture.
- ️ Quantum Recording Engine – Zero-latency buffer design that processes 4K/60fps streams on a single GPU encoder
- ️ Multi-Viewport Canvas – Simultaneously capture primary, secondary, and virtual displays
- ️ Adaptive Bitrate Ladder – Automatically adjusts encoding parameters based on CPU/GPU load in real-time
- ️ Watermark-Free Output – All recordings remain pristine; no overlay is added unless explicitly configured
The UI ships with 12 language packs pre-compiled:
- English (en), Spanish (es), French (fr), German (de), Portuguese (pt)
- Japanese (ja), Korean (ko), Chinese Simplified (zh-Hans), Hindi (hi)
- Arabic (ar), Russian (ru), Italian (it)
Localization extends to tooltips, error messages, and the help desk portal.
Your productivity never sleeps—neither does our support infrastructure.
- Live chat with AI triage (powered by OpenAI API routed through curated logic)
- Claude API conversation quality assurance for escalated tickets
- Average first-response time: <90 seconds (measured 2026 Q1)
The interface adapts to three primary form factors:
| Device Type | Layout | Touch Support | Features |
