Free clip recording that catches the moment you missed
Callup Desktop keeps a rolling buffer of your game while you play. Hit one key after something happens and the clip is already saved, no recording started in advance.
Callup Desktop is free PC clip recording software with an always on buffer, so you press one key after a play and the preceding seconds are already captured. It records with a native C++ Windows Graphics Capture engine and hardware encoding, which keeps the overhead low enough to leave running during ranked. Recording is free; Callup Pro removes the watermark and unlocks the longer buffer. What no other recorder does is hand the clip straight to a coaching review: anything you capture can be graded by the Replay Coach in about a minute. Windows only today.
Always on buffer
The last stretch of gameplay is held in memory, so you clip after the play instead of predicting it.
Hardware encoded
A native C++ capture engine with GPU encoding, built for leaving on during a ranked game rather than a benchmark run.
Free to record
Recording and saving clips is free. Callup Pro removes the watermark and unlocks the longer capture buffer.
Coachable the moment you save
Every clip can go straight into a Replay Coach review, which is the part a generic recorder cannot do.

Common questions
Is Callup Desktop free to record with?
Yes. Recording, the always on buffer and saving clips are free. Clips recorded on the free tier carry a Callup watermark and use the shorter capture buffer; Callup Pro removes the watermark and unlocks the longer buffer, and also adds AI review credits, longer clips and an ad free feed.
Does it capture highlights automatically?
It keeps a rolling buffer of your game running the whole time, so the moment has already been captured when you press the clip key. You do not need to start a recording before the play happens.
Will it slow my game down?
It uses a native C++ Windows Graphics Capture engine with hardware encoding, chosen so the recorder can be left running during ranked rather than only for short benchmark captures. Impact depends on your hardware and settings.
Which platforms does it support?
Callup Desktop is Windows only today. The Callup clip feed, coaching and Replay Coach reviews all work on iOS and on the web.
What can I do with a clip after I record it?
A saved clip can be sent straight to a Replay Coach review, which returns a score, the moments worth keeping, the fixes and one assignment. You can also post it to your Callup feed without uploading it again.
