Small by design

A 4.0 MB download that stays out of your way

Where it helps

The whole download is 4.0 MB

The install from the Microsoft Store is 4.0 MB — no bundled runtime, no separate updater, nothing else to wait on before it opens.

4.0 MB install

One floating widget instead of an application window

There is no window to open, resize or close — the always-on-top widget is the whole interface, sitting wherever you left it.

Encoding runs on the graphics hardware, not the CPU alone

Recordings encode with hardware-accelerated H.264, so the work is handed to the graphics hardware already in the machine rather than ground out entirely in software.

Shortcuts you rebind, so a capture starts from wherever you are

Global shortcuts trigger a capture without alt-tabbing to find the widget first, and they're rebindable to whatever keys suit you.

A 4.0 MB install puts every capture mode behind one floating widget — nothing else to open first.

How it works

01

Install from the Store — 4.0 MB

The download and the finished install are the same 4.0 MB — nothing unpacks into something larger afterward.

02

The floating widget is the whole interface

It stays always on top, wherever you put it, with no separate application window behind it.

Bind the shortcut you want

Set a global shortcut to whatever keys you prefer, so triggering a capture never depends on finding the widget on screen first.

Capture without opening a window first

Press the shortcut and capture starts from wherever you already are, with encoding handled by the graphics hardware.

Questions

How large is the download?

4.0 MB from the Microsoft Store — the entire install, not a starting number that grows after first launch.

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

No — nothing extra to install; the 4.0 MB download is everything the app needs to run.

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

Yes — it runs on Windows 10 from the 1809 update onward and on Windows 11, natively on both x64 and ARM64 hardware.

Does the graphics hardware handle the video encoding?

Yes — recording uses hardware-accelerated H.264 encoding rather than encoding done entirely in software.

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.
