Clippy: Clip Recorder

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.
