Under the hood
Built to stay
Built to stay
out of the way.
Retake is being built to capture quietly in the background, with hardware-aware encoding, flexible controls, and recordings that remain useful outside the app.
Tray-ready
Minimize the window without losing quick access to capture controls and status.
Hardware-aware encoding
Designed around dedicated encoder capabilities where they are available.
Configurable capture
Set replay duration, recording quality, sound sources, storage, and shortcuts around your setup.
Normal media files
Recordings and clips stay portable, so they remain useful beyond a single application.
Desktop builds
