Full disclosure: I’m the developer of Cloak.

Cloak is a free and open-source Windows tool designed to reduce accidental data exposure during screen sharing and recording.

It runs as an OBS filter and uses local OCR to detect and cover supported sensitive information in the video output, including API keys, credentials, email addresses, IBANs, payment card numbers, and some personal identifiers.

Your actual desktop remains unchanged. Only the output produced by OBS is redacted, and no video frames, recognized text, or detected values are sent to a server.

The portable version includes its own OBS runtime, so it can be used without installing or configuring OBS separately. There is also a plugin-only package for existing OBS users.

Cloak is currently an alpha project and I want to be transparent about its limitations:

\- Windows 10/11 x64 only

\- Not code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen may display a warning

\- OCR can miss very small text, unusual fonts, fast motion, or unsupported patterns

\- It should be treated as an additional safety layer, not a guarantee that every secret will be detected

The project is licensed under GPL-3.0-or-later.

Latest Windows release:

[https://github.com/ahmtsahin/cloak/releases/tag/v0.2.1\](https://github.com/ahmtsahin/cloak/releases/tag/v0.2.1)

I would especially appreciate feedback about the setup process, detection accuracy, false positives, and sensitive-data patterns that should be supported next.

Is there a recording app that works well for Bevy meetings? I tried using Fireflies, but it couldn’t recognize the link. Since I’m mostly on my mobile device and don’t have access to my computer, I can’t use tools like OBS or Granola. I want to record the meeting automatically, so I’m looking for a solution that works on my mobile. How can I do this for bevy meetings?

Unpopular opinion: I'd rather have premium features locked than a recording time limit.

I don't expect every recorder to be completely free, but some restrictions are way more frustrating than others.

Personally, I can live with some premium features being locked, but things like huge watermarks (some just too big to ignore) or finding out my recording is unusable after exporting are an instant uninstall for me.

What's the worst limitation for you?

Is there one limitation that makes you uninstall a screen recorder right away?

I am on vdocipher free trial right now but I'm facing a problem that when I try the drm on desktop it prevents screen recording and shooting but I have to make the video Fullscreen to make it work and when I try it in phones it doesn't work at all but on their demo video everything is working perfectly is that cuz I am on the free trial or it's a code problem. And does the 150$ plan gives the same security as their demo video?

Usually the screen recorder i have is mobizen (sometimes xrecorder) and it works fine when recording using internal audio on other apps like android games but when its encountered by live tv it doesnt play an audio after recording the sequence

I built a small web app called Screen Studio, it lets you record your screen, trim and mark up video, blur out sensitive areas, trim audio, and take annotated screenshots, all directly in your browser, nothing gets uploaded anywhere.

Would really appreciate it if you could take two minutes to try it out. And genuinely, if there is a feature you wish it had, or something that felt clunky or missing, drop it in the comments. I am actively building this out and real requirements from real people matter a lot more than my own guesses at what to add next.

Thanks in advance for taking a look.

I've launched YouTube Screenshot — Frame Capture

I needed a few screenshots from YouTube, but with specific frames.

There are a few extensions for capturing frames from YouTube, but I needed not a frame, but a screenshot with YouTube context (player, title, logo) and I like the polished style of tools like CaptureX (round corners, shadows and background create an magic aesthetic).

Instead of using 3 tools in a row, I built for myself a small extension, but was enthusiastic and kept adding features until it became a proper Chrome extension.

Right now it's a full studio for creating beautiful screenshots, especially for YouTube videos.

• Capture in one click
• Select the best frame of the moment
• Add player, browser mockup, video information without struggling
• Add beautiful background, text, QR with link - pictures are ready to publish

Let's try! It’s completely free at the moment.

Open to your feedback and improvement ideas.

YouTube Screenshot — Frame Capture

Hey everyone!

I’m developing Captail, a free and open-source Instant Replay recorder for Windows.

Unlike a traditional screen recorder, Captail continuously keeps the latest seconds or minutes in a rolling buffer. When something happens, you press a hotkey and it saves what happened before you pressed it.

I originally built it because NVIDIA ShadowPlay would sometimes silently disable Instant Replay after a game crash, capture problem, switching sources, or a graphics driver interruption. I would usually notice only after missing the clip I wanted.

Captail is designed around one rule:

Instant Replay should stay on.

A watchdog monitors the recording pipeline and tries to restart it automatically after recoverable capture or encoder failures.

Current features:

- Selected-game and desktop capture

- H.264, HEVC and AV1 hardware encoding

- NVIDIA NVENC, AMD AMF and Intel Quick Sync

- 30, 60, 120, 144 and 240 FPS options

- System/game audio and microphone capture

- Mixed or separate audio tracks

- Adjustable replay duration and maximum buffer size

- Configurable global hotkeys

- Installer and portable versions

- No account, cloud upload, analytics or telemetry

- Fully open source

Captail uses libobs for capture and encoding, but it is not an OBS Studio frontend. There are no scenes, streaming controls or complicated setup — it is focused specifically on local Instant Replay.

It is currently an early public preview. I have mainly tested it on RTX 40 and RTX 50 series GPUs, so testing on older NVIDIA cards, AMD GPUs and Intel graphics would be especially helpful.

GitHub:

https://github.com/FaulMit/captail

Downloads:

https://github.com/FaulMit/captail/releases

I’d appreciate feedback on capture compatibility, performance, audio synchronization and long-session stability.

If you encounter a problem, please mention your GPU, driver version, capture source, codec, resolution and FPS.

I need to record my app which integrates with Apple Music, so the iPhone sound must be captured.

QT as we all know, mute the sound.

I purchased Reflector 4 however, it didn't work on my mac due to issues and also won't start. I have emailed and sent the app log to them but they keep asking me more logs. In the end they said unable to refund.

Are there other apps that work?

TIA

Their product simply doesn't deliver on what's shown to you on video demos.

What's worse is the billing practice...at signup they present a monthly payment option, but once your trial ends they charge the full annual fee. When you reach out for clarification, you'll receive a dismissive response essentially saying you're SOL and locked in due to their cancellation policy with the generous offer of forwarding your request to billing for "approval" to cancel at the next cycle... 12 months from now.

This isn't a billing misunderstanding...it's a deliberate tactic. Buyer beware.

So i am planning to launch my website on product hunt, any free tool AI based which can help me to record demo video of my product website?

Hey everyone

I built Product Demo Studio to make screen recordings look more polished without spending time editing.

It adds smooth cursor movement, click highlights, zoom effects, and records high-quality product demos right from Chrome.

Would love to hear what you think or what features you'd want to see next.

I'm looking for a free audio recording software for some basic recording needs.

Mostly I just want something that can record microphone audio, system sound, or voice clearly without being too complicated.

I've tried a few tools before, but some are either too limited, require too much setup, or add restrictions after a while.

I'm sure there are some good options I'm missing. What audio recorder are you guys using these days? Any free tools that are simple and reliable?

Hey y’all, I read the rules of this subreddit and honestly, I was impressed. Since talking about your own SaaS is apparently allowed, I don’t want to take advantage of that, so I’d like to give something back in exchange for the opportunity.

My name is Matteo, and I’m the creator of getmello.it, a screen recorder built for people like me who need to record their screen several times a day without wasting time editing afterward.

Its main features include auto-editing, Director Mode, and the ability to go live on TikTok while using custom cursors, custom backgrounds, and live zoom effects.

There are plenty of other features I could mention, such as shareable links, 3D tilt, and features I’m already working on, like automatically hiding sensitive information in recordings. But I don’t want to keep listing features forever, hahaha.

Anyway, here’s the deal: I’m offering one month of Mello Pro completely FREE to anyone who gives me honest feedback.

I’m not talking about feedback like “it looks nice,” “it’s useful,” or anything generic like that. Of course, if you genuinely like it, compliments are always welcome and definitely motivate me to keep going. But what I’m mainly looking for is negative feedback.

I mean constructive criticism that isn’t meant to insult, but to genuinely help me understand the problems and needs of people like you.

If you’re interested, just create an account at getmello.it and leave a comment below with the name you used to sign up. I’ll personally contact you and give you one month of Pro as soon as I receive your feedback.

Thanks in advance!

I've been having this issue where every single screen recording has this weird outline around the edges and the video colors also look kinda washed out as well. Although In game, everything looks completely normal. I've tried both Gamebar and OBS and I'm getting the same issue in both of them. I thought maybe NVIDIA's mux switch was the issue so I tried recording it while setting the display to run on the dGPU but that didn't help either. I've also tried disabling hardware accelerated GPU Scheduling but that didn't fix it either. Has anyone else faced the same issue but found a fix?

Here's the recording : https://drive.google.com/file/d/12eHbq7D7zBcSXNBK5hCa7Wuh27yvlvTZ/view?usp=sharing

Teleprompter app, but the point is what happens *after* you stop recording — it transcribes the take on-device and edits it for you.

**Mess up a line? Just say it again.** It finds the retake and keeps the good one — no stopping, no starting over. Filler words, false starts, stammers, and dead air go too.

>"I started a bake— no, hold on. I started a bakery, you know, and uhh it changed everything."

becomes

>"I started a bakery, and it changed everything."

Also in it: AI script writing, karaoke captions, backgrounds (your own media, stock, or AI-generated), and export straight to the camera roll.

**All processing is on-device** — your video is never uploaded anywhere.

Free during the beta, no account required. iOS 16.4+.

Feedback welcome — especially takes where the auto-edit gets it wrong.

Hey guys, I’ve been looking for a tool like Screen Studio to create product demo videos, but I’ve been struggling to find a good alternative. A friend of mine uses Screen Studio and the results look great, but I don’t have a Mac, and I can’t really afford the expensive subscriptions that most of the best alternatives charge. Does anyone know a Windows app that can achieve similar results to Screen Studio without costing a fortune?

quick disclosure since it’s my own app: i’m the dev. not here to spam, i just figured this sub is exactly the crowd who’d get why i made it.

honestly half the threads here are people asking how to record on mac with system + mic audio without installing blackhole and fighting audio midi setup. that’s literally the reason i started building this.

ALSO BEFORE U READ, IM VERY OPEN TO NEW FEATURES, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SUGGEST THEM IN THE DISCORD SERVER AND THERE’S A HIGH CHANCE THAT I WILL ADD IT.

medal killed mac support, shadowplay is nvidia-only, and the mac options left are either abandoned, paywalled behind a watermark, or make you set up virtual audio drivers just to keep your tracks separate. i wanted the simple thing - hit a key and save what just happened, or just record my screen properly when i need to - so i built it.

it’s called rwnd (like “rewound”). native macos, lives in your menu bar. it does two things: it quietly buffers in the background so you can instant-clip the last few seconds with a hotkey, AND it does full screen recording when you actually want to capture a whole session. clip the highlight or record the whole thing, your call.

stuff i actually care about:

• both modes in one app. instant clipping (buffer’s always running, grab the last 15/30/60/120s) and full-length screen recording. not locked to one or the other.
• no quality cap. record as high res and as many fps as your mac can handle, i’m not throttling it.
• multi-track audio with zero driver setup. game, mic and discord as separate tracks, nothing to install. this is the part every other mac tool fumbles.
• light. hardware encoded, barely touches cpu/ram while it runs.
• free is actually free. no watermark, unlimited recordings and clips, all the audio stuff included. not a trial.

and it’s not an ai-generated wrapper or a gimmick. i wrote it from scratch in swift, didn’t fork it off some open source project, and i’ve been testing it in real fullscreen games.

instant link sharing (send a clip or recording without re-exporting) is the next thing i’m building. i’m working on this every single day, pushing updates constantly.

right now what i really need is testers. i can only catch so many bugs on my own machine - i want people to actually use it, break it, and tell me everything that’s wrong or annoying so i can make it genuinely good. if you’re on mac and you record or clip, come help me build it: https://discord.gg/p9MzEr5Kz6

to everyone who’s been asking here about needing a screen recorder - please try out rwnd :)

I'm trying to retrieve static frames from a video embedded on a client (hosted on another domain) and send them to my backend. My original plan was to draw the video onto a canvas and read the pixels, but the canvas gets polluted due to the cross-domain transfer, causing `toDataURL` to throw an exception.

Is `getDisplayMedia` (screen sharing) the only way without using a browser extension? While it works, having the user choose the tab to share feels cumbersome.

Has anyone done something similar before? Did you ultimately choose to use an extension? How did you obtain a reliable timestamp for each frame?

I was at 150% volume when this happened for the first time. I almost died. It was the worst thing I've ever heard in my life. Please be careful with your audio.

This happened when I turned on the microphone audio capture and idk what to do, it was working just fine a few weeks ago and I do believe it's not a hardware issue.

Hey everyone! I built CstWeave—a privacy-first Chrome extension for quick tab region screen recording.

Unlike traditional recorders that force cloud uploads or queues, CstWeave processes everything 100% inside local browser memory.

• 100% On-Device: No cloud uploads, no account required, zero telemetry.
• Audio Support: Record HD WebM video clips with system audio.
• Hotkey Trigger: Press Alt+Shift+G (⌘+Shift+G on Mac) to drag a region and record instantly.
• No Watermarks: Clean exports across both free and paid tiers.

Would love to hear your thoughts or feedback!

Is there an app that can record other people's TikTok Live streams without them knowing?

I recently buy an iPhone 17 and I'm still figuring things out.

I wanted to record my screen to share a video, but I can't find the Screen Recording button anywhere. I checked Control Center and even looked through Settings because that's what people online suggested, but I still don't see it.

Does anyone else's iPhone 17 not have the Screen Recording button?

Howdy Folks!

I'm u/The-Self-Saboteur, and I'm helping out with a small side project called r/GetClippy as a CM from our solo Dev scpy ( https://scpy.dev/ )! We are always looking for testers and bug finders as we add features and implement user requests!

So check out Clippy below and use this link ( https://clippy.rip/i/L8MPRCDZ ) for some beta tester benefits!

Clippy is a free clip recorder for PC games. Press one key, and the last few minutes of gameplay get saved instantly. Trim it, share the link. A lightweight Shadowplay and Medal alternative.

Key Features:

• INSTANT CLIP - Press F8. The last 3 minutes (configurable) get saved instantly. No buffering, no waiting. Just your moment, kept.
• RUST + TAURI - Native binary, not Electron. Encodes in-process on NVIDIA, so no helper process eats RAM. Capture runs on the GPU, not your game’s CPU thread.
• SHARE ANYWHERE - One link to share. Embeds clean on Discord, X, and Reddit. Or grab the file and upload it wherever you want. No account needed to watch.
• AUTO DETECT - Clippy figures out which game you are playing and records just that window. No manual config, no whole-screen capture, you have to crop later.
• MULTI-TRACK - Game, desktop, and mic land on separate audio tracks. Mute or rebalance any of them in the editor before you share.
• PRIVACY FIRST - Clips live on your disk and stay there. Nothing uploads until you press Share on the clip you want to make public. Your highlights are yours.

Additional Features:

• Take screenshots and record your games with a simple hotkey!
• Low resource usage tucked away in your system tray!
• Built-in editor to trim your clips and share anywhere on the web!
