ClipForge v0.2.1

ClipForge

Game highlight clips: a replay buffer records your screen and sound in the
background, and a hotkey saves the last seconds (or minutes) as an .mp4 you can
trim, organize and share. Everything stays on your computer. The app is in Spanish.

New in 0.2.1

• Light or dark interface, or the one your system uses, and a main color of
  your choice (Settings → Apariencia).
• Low RAM mode (Settings → Rendimiento): one minute of buffer at half the
  bitrate, about 45 MB instead of 180 MB. Switching it restarts the recording.
• A new look: the Inter typeface, drop-down filters for clips and flat buttons.

Downloads

File	For	How
ClipForge_*_x64-setup.exe	Windows 10 (1803+) / 11	Double-click, it installs and adds a Start menu entry
ClipForge-portable-x64.exe	Windows 10 (1803+) / 11	Double-click, nothing to install (needs the WebView2 runtime, already part of Windows 11 and most Windows 10)
ClipForge_*_aarch64.dmg	Apple silicon Macs, macOS 13 or newer	Open it and drag ClipForge to Applications

How to use it

Open ClipForge: it starts recording the last two minutes in the background (the
tray icon shows it). When something good happens press Ctrl+Shift+S
(⇧⌘S on a Mac) and the clip appears in Recientes. Settings lets you change
the shortcut, the clip length, the microphone and more.

Good to know

• Not signed, so the system warns you the first time:
  • Windows: "Windows protected your PC" → More info → Run anyway.
  • macOS: right-click ClipForge → Open (or, if it says the app is damaged, run
    xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/ClipForge.app).
• It records the main monitor, shrunk to fit 1920×1080, and the sound the
  computer plays. The microphone is off until you turn it on.
• macOS asks for Screen Recording the first time (and Microphone only if
  you turn the microphone on). Screenshots on macOS need macOS 14 or newer.
• On Windows the video is encoded by Microsoft's own H.264 encoder (software,
  it needs no GPU and keeps up at 1080p60 on an ordinary processor). The GPU
  encoders (NVENC, AMF, Quick Sync) are not used yet, so a very busy game on a
  weak processor may cost a few frames. Windows has been tested end to end on a
  Windows machine in CI, not yet on a gaming PC: please report what you find.
• On Intel Macs there is no download yet.
