All from one window. **Current release tracks** - **[macOS Beta →](https://www.videorc.com/download/mac)** — macOS 13+, Apple Silicon. Signed and notarized beta builds are the current public desktop release. - **[Windows Alpha guide →](https://www.videorc.com/windows-alpha)** — Windows 11 x64 only. A Windows installer is published only after the signed candidate, clean-machine, malware-scan, update, uninstall, and real-device acceptance gates pass. A CI artifact or unsigned local package is not a public alpha. Both tracks are pre-release software. Expect fast-moving releases, rough edges, and occasional recording or streaming bugs while the app is being hardened. ## Why Videorc Most capture tools make you choose between "simple but shallow" and "powerful but a cockpit". Videorc aims for the third option: a studio that is genuinely simple to run — pick a scene, hit record — while the heavy lifting (a native capture engine, multi-platform streaming, live captions, an AI producer) happens underneath. - **Scenes, not knobs.** Screen + camera, screen only, camera only, or side-by-side splits — with draggable camera placement, corner snapping, shapes, and framing controls. - **Backgrounds with taste.** Bring your own wallpaper (PNG/WebP/JPEG), tune its visibility with one slider, or remove it for a full-bleed recording. - **Record and stream in one pipeline.** Local MKV recording (with automatic MP4 remux), RTMP streaming, or both from a single encode — including simulcast fan-out to multiple destinations with per-target health status. Streaming quality is free on every plan: up to 1080p60, and true 4K30 on YouTube (other platforms ingest up to 1080p). - **Live captions.** Streaming speech-to-text (~1s latency) with optional caption burn-in on the stream, the recording, both, or neither. - **Buddy, your AI companion.** Name it, give it a personality and looks, and it catches questions from every platform with a drafted reply you approve, flags spam and abuse against your own rules, greets first-timers and reminds you of your promises. It posts only in the modes you turn on, and everything is off by default. Cloud AI is opt-in, and after each stream a short report stays on your computer. See [docs/buddy.md](docs/buddy.md). - **Platform-aware preview.** macOS uses a detached native CAMetalLayer preview. Windows Alpha currently uses the documented uncompressed, latest-wins Electron proof surface; it must not be described as CAMetalLayer or as final native parity. - **Gated auto-updates.** Signed, notarized macOS Beta builds update in place. Windows updating is a release-candidate gate and is enabled only for an accepted, signed Alpha feed. ## How it works - **Electron + React** desktop shell (TypeScript, shadcn/ui) for the studio UI. - **Rust backend** owns capture, composition, recording, and streaming; the shell talks to it over an authenticated localhost WebSocket protocol. - **FFmpeg** (an LGPL-compliant build, bundled) drives encoding and output. - **SQLite** local session library — your recordings and Buddy's stream reports stay on your machine. ## Open source & pricing The desktop app — capture, scenes, recording, streaming, captions UI — is free software under **AGPL-3.0**. You can build it, run it, and audit every line that touches your camera, microphone, and screen. Cloud AI features (live captions and Buddy) run through a signed-in Videorc account: the desktop app never holds AI provider keys, and nothing goes to the cloud until you turn it on. Hosted AI is what funds the project. ## Build from source Prerequisites: Node.js 24.x and Rust stable (rustup). macOS source development uses FFmpeg on `PATH`; Windows development fetches the pinned LGPL bundle with `pnpm ffmpeg:fetch:windows`. The checked-in `.node-version`, `engines`, and `packageManager` fields keep local tools aligned with CI; Corepack installs the pinned pnpm 11. ```sh corepack enable corepack install pnpm install pnpm dev ``` The app launches the Rust backend automatically. On macOS, recordings default to `~/Movies/Videorc/Recordings` and session metadata lives in `~/Library/Application Support/Videorc/videorc.sqlite3`; Windows uses its native user data and Videos locations. Developing on Windows? See [docs/windows-dev-loop.md](docs/windows-dev-loop.md) for setup, the version-floor escape hatch, and the fast verify loop. To produce a local unsigned macOS app bundle: ```sh pnpm ffmpeg:build:macos # build or reuse the bundled LGPL FFmpeg pnpm package:desktop ``` See [docs/distribution.md](docs/distribution.md) for signing, notarization, and FFmpeg distribution details. ## Development & verification [AGENTS.md](AGENTS.md) is the contributor guide: verification gates, recording and native-preview rules, and repo conventions. The short loop: ```sh pnpm typecheck pnpm build pnpm smoke:dev # records a test-pattern MKV per layout preset — no permissions needed cargo fmt --check cargo test cargo clippy -- -D warnings ``` The full non-packaged acceptance gate (what CI runs) is: ```sh pnpm smoke:local-gates ``` Notable smokes: `pnpm smoke:multistream` proves simulcast fan-out end to end against local RTMP listeners (including the offline-destination failure guarantee), and `pnpm smoke:packaged` exercises a packaged build. None of the default cross-platform smokes require camera, microphone, or screen permissions. The Windows installer lane additionally runs `pnpm smoke:windows-native-screen` against DXGI (gdigrab fallback) and keeps the packaged proof preview live during a real ScreenOnly recording. ## Contributing Videorc's macOS track is in Beta and its gated Windows track is in Alpha. Bug reports with reproduction steps are very welcome; Windows testers should use the privacy-safe Windows Alpha issue form and never attach credentials, recordings, or an unverified support bundle to a public issue. For larger changes, please open an issue first so we can agree on the shape before you invest in a PR. Read [AGENTS.md](AGENTS.md) before touching recording or native-preview code — those areas have non-negotiable verification gates. ## Contributors - **[TheOrcDev](https://github.com/TheOrcDev)** — Warchief - **[Jay](https://github.com/radiumcoders)** — Grunt <a href="https://github.com/TheOrcDev/videorc/graphs/contributors"> <img src="https://contrib.rocks/image?repo=TheOrcDev/videorc" alt="Contributors" /> </a> ## License Code: [AGPL-3.0](LICENSE). Brand: the Videorc name, logo, and app icon are not part of the code license — see [TRADEMARK.md](TRADEMARK.md) before distributing a modified build. The bundled FFmpeg is built LGPL-compliant; see [docs/distribution.md](docs/distribution.md) for third-party licensing notes.
