Wow! This could be awesome for QA work. So often our QA team will manage to get our software into some weird state but not be entirely sure how they got there. If they used this they could hit the keyboard-shortcut to save the last 60 seconds as soon as they got to the error or weird state.

I've sent them the link!



That's a great use case and I could really use that right now.

Now if retro clip could also record keystrokes* and mouse clicks that could be even more helpful.

* OK, maybe keystrokes is a security issue? Not sure.


You could use something like xnee: https://www.gnu.org/software/xnee/


That says X11. Not going to work on macOS's Quartz.


Oh, you're right. I was thinking about linux for some reason.


That's a great idea. I wonder if there is similar software for Windows since that's where a lot of my companies QA issues are born (IE)


Nvidia and AMD both include similar instant replay software with their Windows driver packages.

They're geared towards gaming but I know NVs solution lets you enable desktop recording, not sure about AMD.
