Record your screen without opening a screen recorder.

A tiny native Windows utility for instantly capturing a window, a region, or an entire screen — with microphone and system audio.

Press Select Record

Your screen recorder shouldn't become another application you have to manage.

Caramel is a tiny native Windows screen recorder that stays out of your way.

Just press → select → record.

A gesture, not a piece of software

  1. Press a shortcut.
  2. Choose a window, a region, or the whole screen.
  3. Choose your microphone and system audio.
  4. Record.

Shortcut, selection, record. Nothing else in the frame.

Shortcut → choose what to capture → record.

Caramel feels like a native Windows version of macOS's built-in screen recording.

The Mac comparison

The Mac has it built in. Windows has Caramel.

QuickTime Player gave the Mac simple screen recording: open the app, hit record. But no system audio, no single-window capture, and a heavy .mov file. Caramel is that idea, finished — for Windows.

If OBS feels like a studio, Caramel feels like a button.

What it actually is

Instant

Launches when you need it.

  1. Instant. Launches when you need it.
  2. Native. Built around Windows, not a web stack.
  3. Quiet. Lives in the background until you call it.

Native. Instant. Beautiful. Invisible.

The edge of the recording

The recording area becomes part of the interface.

Choose a window and Caramel draws its border. The screen itself says what is about to be recorded. A small native object, not a control room.

This is what will be recorded.

Caramel sleeps until you call it. No background workers, no web stack warming up — just a tray icon waiting for a shortcut.

You see something. You press a key. It's recorded.

Drop the film on this frame. It plays when the file is there.

A small sweet thing. It shows up, does the work, and disappears.
