Small by design

A small screen recorder that stays out of your way

Where it helps

Quick to install, nothing extra needed

Install it from the Microsoft Store and start using it. There is nothing else to set up first, and it runs on Windows 10 (version 1809 or newer) and Windows 11.

Windows 10 (1809+) and 11

One floating widget instead of an application window

There is no window to open, resize or close. The floating widget is the whole interface, and it stays where you put it.

floating widget excluded from every capture

Encoding runs on the graphics hardware, not the CPU alone

Recordings use hardware-accelerated H.264 encoding, which means your graphics card does part of the work instead of leaving it all to the processor.

Shortcuts you can change, so a capture starts from anywhere

Global keyboard shortcuts start a capture from anywhere, without searching for the widget first. You can change them to any keys you like.

Every capture mode sits behind one small floating widget, with nothing else to open first.

Questions

Is it a heavy program?

No. It is a small app with one floating widget instead of a big window, so it stays out of your way while you work.

Does it need a separate runtime or framework installed alongside it?

No. There is nothing extra to install. The Microsoft Store installs everything the app needs.

Does it run on older Windows 10 machines, and on ARM64?

Yes. It runs on Windows 10 (version 1809 or newer) and Windows 11, natively on both x64 and ARM64 PCs.

Does the graphics hardware handle the video encoding?

Yes. Recording uses hardware-accelerated H.264 encoding, so your graphics card helps with the work.

What stays on screen while I'm working?

Just the floating widget, and it excludes itself from every capture and recording it makes, so it never shows up in the result.
