RePlays vs Wisp

RePlays is a free tool for recording, clipping and sharing gameplay. It automatically manages recordings of detected running games and includes a clip editor for preparing videos to share. Its recording functionality uses libobs from the OBS Project, and it supports instant replay. Integrations for Counter-Strike 2, League of Legends, PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS and Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege can bookmark gameplay moments such as kills, assists and deaths. Windows users can download an installer from the latest release. Linux support remains a work in progress and is generally available for normal use only if users build the software from source. The project is licensed under GPL-3.0. Its backend uses C# (.NET 8), while its interface uses TypeScript with React; display technology is Microsoft Edge WebView2 on Windows and WebKit2GTK on Linux. The nightly release may contain breaking changes and is offered at the user's risk. RePlays' website says uploaded videos and other data are stored on its servers within the EU. The site says it uses only cookies needed for service functionality, without tracking or marketing browser cookies. RePlays.app accepts videos made with RePlays recording software, not recordings made directly from mobile devices.

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.
