Rewind

What Rewind is

Rewind is free, open-source gameplay replay software for macOS and Windows. It continuously buffers the last 15–60 seconds of gameplay, which can be saved with a hotkey or when a game reports an event; buffering can also be paused at the desktop. Users can choose a display or application, select audio and microphone sources, configure storage cleanup and rebind hotkeys. The clip library groups recordings by game and match, with in-app playback and event-type badges. Encoding uses Apple VideoToolbox on macOS; Windows options include NVENC, AMF, Quick Sync and x264. Steam achievement unlocks can save a labeled clip by reading local Steam stats-cache files, without a key or network connection. The README also describes League of Legends match tracking and event-based clipping through its local Live Client Data API, while noting feature status varies across sections. The project says integrations use sanctioned data sources or screen capture, not memory reading, injection or hooking. Rewind is licensed under GPLv3 and labeled alpha. Windows capture has not yet been validated on real Windows hardware.
