VGSources / Best Game Recording Software / RePlays
What it is
RePlays is a free, GPL-3.0-licensed tool for recording, clipping, and sharing gameplay. It automatically manages recordings from detected running games and includes a clip editor for preparing short videos. Instant replay is supported, and recording uses libobs from the OBS Project. Integrations are listed for Counter-Strike 2, League of Legends, PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS, and Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege; these can bookmark events such as kills, assists, and deaths. Windows users can download an installer from the latest release. Linux support is still a work in progress and generally requires building from source. The project uses C (.NET 8), TypeScript, and React, with WebView2 on Windows and WebKit2GTK on Linux. Uploaded videos and other data are stored on servers in the EU. RePlays.app accepts videos made with RePlays, but not videos recorded directly from mobile devices.
