In their own words
Wisp
Wisp is free Windows software for recording game clips from a rolling screen-and-audio buffer. It can buffer continuously or while a game runs, then save the recent footage in under a second after a hotkey press. Pressing the hotkey again while a clip is fresh chains another segment and marks the join. Kill detection uses official local APIs for League of Legends and CS2, with experimental on-screen detection for Valorant and Overwatch 2. Capture uses Windows Graphics Capture, with Desktop Duplication and GDI fallbacks, and hardware encoding on NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel GPUs. System audio and microphone input can be mixed independently, while Discord and similar voice chat can be isolated to another track. An optional voice trigger runs a bundled speech model locally without internet access. The browser shows thumbnails, duration, and file size, and supports playback, search, sorting, renaming, and deletion. Plugins can add themes, overlays, markers, export layers, and actions.
