Replay Desk

Capture and Clip Your Moments.

Replay Desk quietly records your game in the background. Pull off the pass, the landing or the clutch round, press your hotkey, and the last few minutes are saved as a video.

For Windows 10 and 11. Try every feature free for 14 days, then pay once to keep it. No subscription.

Everything after the moment

Cut it down to the good part

Open any replay or recording, mark where the action starts and ends, and keep as many pieces as you like. They're joined into one clip in the order you choose.

Your voice and the game sound are recorded on separate tracks, so you can turn your mic down or mute it without touching the game.

Stitch your best moments together

Pick a few clips, drag them into order, choose a cut, fade or crossfade, and export one highlight video. Clips from different games and resolutions are matched up for you.

The Compile screen with three clips in order, a preview player and transition options for Cut, Fade to black and Crossfade

Controls that slide out over your game

Press your overlay hotkey and a control panel slides in from the side of the screen with Save replay, Record and the buffer switch, plus a live recording timer. Press it again and it tucks away.

It works over fullscreen and borderless games, and clicking it doesn't pull focus from your game. Prefer a small floating panel instead? Switch styles in Settings.

Questions

What do I need to run it?

A 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 PC. An NVIDIA or AMD graphics card is best because it does the video encoding; without one, Replay Desk uses your CPU instead.

Windows says "Windows protected your PC". Is that normal?

Yes. Windows shows that for new apps from small developers that haven't built up a reputation yet. Click More info, then Run anyway. You'll only see it once.

Will it slow my game down?

Hardly at all. Your graphics card has a separate video encoder built in, and that's what Replay Desk uses, so your game keeps its frame rate.

Does the overlay work in fullscreen games?

Yes, in most games. The side panel slides out over fullscreen, borderless and windowed games on Windows 10 and 11. A small number of older games use a special exclusive fullscreen mode where Windows doesn't allow anything on top. Your hotkeys still save replays and start recordings there, and a short sound confirms each one.

How do updates work?

Replay Desk checks for new versions on its own. When one is ready, a banner shows what's new and Update now installs it and reopens the app in a few seconds. You can also turn on automatic updates in Settings. Updates are free for life, and your settings, hotkeys and videos are always kept.

Can I change the hotkeys?

Yes. Every hotkey (save replay, start and stop recording, show the overlay) can be set to any key combination you like in Settings.

What happens when the trial ends?

Recording, replays and exporting pause until you add a license key. Your saved videos stay right where they are, and you can still watch and find them.

I got a new PC. Can I move my license?

Yes. Each license works on up to 3 PCs at once. To move it, open Settings, choose Remove from this PC on the old one, and enter the key on the new one.

What does Replay Desk send over the internet?

Only two things: a check for new versions, and a check that your license key is valid. Your videos, settings and usage stay on your PC. See the privacy page.

How do I get help?

Email support@getreplaydesk.com with what happened and your Replay Desk version (shown in Settings). Questions about your license or purchase go to the same address.
