What it does

01

Say it, and it’s saved

Record your own phrase in any language or dialect, then say it mid-game to save the last minutes. It runs offline on your PC, and the phrase inside a sentence never saves by mistake.

Smart Save: testing your recorded phrase

02

A mixer for every sound

A row for each source: game, Discord, music, microphone or any app, each with its own level and, if you like, its own track. SteelSeries Sonar and GoXLR are set up by themselves.

03

Your camera over the game

Put your webcam or phone in a corner, square or round, or on top of a 9:16 picture for shorts. Kairos opens it at its sharpest size, up to 1080p.

04

Automatic quality

Kairos picks what your PC records best with, in H.264 that plays everywhere, up to 1440p. If a game takes the graphics card, it records lighter by itself instead of stuttering.

The Quality page set to Automatic

05

Edit without leaving

Cut and join parts, change speed and sound per part, add text, auto captions made on your PC, drawings and blur, and now zoom into any area of the picture.

06

Share in a click

Copy a clip made to fit Discord’s 10, 50 or 500 MB, drag it straight into a chat, or let Kairos post it to X, TikTok or Instagram for you.

07

Straight to your cloud

Save to OneDrive, Dropbox or Google Drive in one click. OneDrive and Dropbox can free the copies on your PC.

The General page with the cloud choice

08

Every clip, in order

Clips and screenshots by day and by game, a player that jumps where you click, and a size limit that moves the oldest to the Recycle Bin.

New in Kairos 1.1

  • An audio mixer: a row, a level and a track for each sound.
  • Your camera in a corner, or over a 9:16 picture.
  • Automatic quality that steps down by itself if frames are skipped.
  • Recording always starts: if one encoder can’t, the next one records.
  • Instant replay on your disk or in RAM, your choice: on disk, a long replay costs no memory.
  • Copy sized for Discord, drag clips into Discord, save to the cloud in one click.
  • Zoom in the editor, and a smarter Smart Save.

Requirements

Windows 10 (version 2004 or newer) or Windows 11, 64-bit. A graphics card with a video encoder (NVIDIA, AMD or Intel) is recommended.
