One install works on Windows 10 (version 1809 or newer) and Windows 11, on both standard x64 and ARM64 PCs. There is no separate version to look for.

Five ways to capture, one widget

Capture an area, a window, the full screen, a long scrolling page, or take a timed shot. All five are in the same small widget that stays on top of other windows, one click away.

Recordings save as ordinary MP4

Switch the same widget to recording mode and it saves a standard MP4 video file (H.264 video, AAC audio) that plays in any common player.

The widget never shows up in its own shots

The floating widget leaves itself out of every screenshot and recording, so your file shows only your screen, never the button you clicked.

The CaptureXRec widget's capture menu, showing region, window, full-screen, scrolling, and timed capture as five separate modes.

Five capture shapes live behind one widget — pick whichever matches what’s on screen.

The CaptureXRec widget switched into its recording panel, ready to save a capture straight to MP4.

The same widget flips to recording mode and saves out as ordinary MP4 — H.264 video, AAC audio.

Questions

Does it work on Windows 11 and on ARM64 laptops?

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

Do I need an account or to sign in?

No. There is no account and no sign-in. Install it and the widget is ready to use.

What file format do recordings save as?

MP4 (H.264 video, AAC audio). It is a standard format that plays in any common player without converting.

Does the widget itself show up in the recording?

No. The widget leaves itself out of every screenshot and video it makes.
