How RECLION works

RECLION is a Windows screen recorder built around three ideas: your file stays on your disk, the 30-second loopfrom “open the app” to “MP4 in your inbox” must just work, and the price is one-time, never a subscription.

The 30-second flow

(Adapted from features.md“How to use it”. Keep in lockstep when features.md changes.)

  1. Open RECLION. Splash plays for ~1.5 seconds, then the main panel appears.
  2. Pick what to record. Screen tab for a full display (auto-picked when you have one monitor; selectable for multi-monitor) or Window for a specific app, with a thumbnail picker.
  3. Set your mic + camera. Pick devices from the two dropdowns. Choose a profile mode: live Webcam, static Picture, or None.
  4. Position the webcam circle. Drag the floating circle anywhere; it snaps to corners.
  5. Hit Record (or Ctrl+Shift+R). A 3-second countdown plays full-screen on the target display, then the floating recording bar appears.
  6. While recording, the bar gives you Pause / Resume / Stop / Toggle webcam / Mute mic / Screenshot. Hotkey for stop is Ctrl+Shift+S. The bar is content-protected, so it doesn’t appear in its own recording.
  7. Hit Stop. The preview opens with your clip ready to play. The recording is a fragmented MP4 written to a temp location.
  8. Polish (optional). Drag the gold trim handles to cut awkward starts/ends. Pick a playback speed (1.0× to 2.0×); audio pitch is preserved.
  9. Export. Click Export… and give it a title. A live filename preview shows what gets written to disk (slugified, lowercase, hyphenated, max 80 chars).
  10. Done. File lands in ~\Videos\Reclion\videos\ (configurable in Settings).

Who it’s for

  • Tutorial creators: step-by-step walkthroughs with friendly webcam bubble plus animated click ripples.
  • Software demoers: show off a feature, trim the awkward dead air, email a 30-second polished MP4 to a prospect.
  • Support engineers: capture a customer-reported bug, attach to your ticket. Click ripples make every step clear.
  • Teachers and educators: record lectures or assignment walkthroughs without forcing students through a cloud signup wall.
  • PMs and designers: explain a Figma flow or product change in 90 seconds. Faster than a meeting.
  • Solo developers: narrate code or terminal sessions. Your code stays on your disk.

Where files live

~\Videos\Reclion\
├── videos\        ← exported recordings (MP4)
└── screenshots\   ← PNG screenshots taken during recording

You can change the root folder in Settings → Save folder. Recordings are NEVER uploaded; they live on your machine, period.

Privacy in one sentence

RECLION makes no outbound network calls while you record. The only thing that touches our server is your license check, ~once every two weeks, sending only your license key + an anonymized hash of your Windows machine ID + the app version + a country code derived from your IP.
