See what you actually record.

SwiftRec captures exactly what's on your screen without adding borders, logos, or overlays that clutter the shot. Your finished MP4 is ready to use straight away — no editing needed to strip out branding.

Why it's different

Why use this instead of what Windows gives you.

The built-in Game Bar is handy for clips, but it skips File Explorer, won't record a drawn region, and ties you to its settings.

Record anything on your screen

Full screen, single window, free-form region, or a specific monitor — you pick the source before you start. Game Bar can't do this.

Control with a single hotkey

Press once to record, again to stop — no window switching, no toolbar hunting. Your app stays in focus the whole time.

Both audio tracks at once

Mic and system sound get mixed into one MP4. Talk over a video call, a game, or a presentation without losing either.

Runs from any folder

Extract and launch — no installer, no background service, no admin rights needed. Move it to USB if you want.

Setup takes seconds

Get started in four steps.

You'll be recording in under a minute.

Extract the downloadUnzip the folder and open it — the app launches straight from there.

Choose what to recordPick full screen, a window, a region you draw, or a single monitor from the toolbar.

Toggle audio on or offClick the mic and speaker icons to decide which sounds go into your video.

Press record and stopHit the red button or your hotkey to start, then stop when you're done — the file saves to your Videos folder.

vs. online tools

How it stacks up against online tools.

Web-based recorders ask for login and often add watermarks; this one runs on your PC and keeps everything local.

Got questions?

Q1
Do I need to pay or sign up?
No — it's free, with no trial window and no account. Download, extract, and record.
Q2
Will it work on my Windows version?
Yes on Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit. It also supports earlier versions that have .NET Framework 4.7.2 installed.
Q3
Can I record just my microphone, or just system sound?
Yes — toggle the mic and speaker icons separately before you record, so you get exactly the audio tracks you need.
Q4
What format is the video file?
MP4 (H.264) by default, ready to upload or edit. You can also export as an animated GIF for quick sharing.
Q5
Do I need admin rights to run it?
No — launching it as a normal user is enough for screen and audio capture.
Q6
Where do my recordings get saved?
To your Videos folder in a SwiftRec subfolder. The app has a button to open that folder for you.
Q7
Is it safe to use?
Yes — it's open-source and built on the well-known Captura engine. If Windows SmartScreen appears, click 'More info' then 'Run anyway'.
