Question 1

How is this different from OBS or a normal screen recorder?

Accepted Answer

A screen recorder keeps the pixels and throws the rest away. We keep the inputs you made and the audio you heard, pinned to the exact frame they happened on, plus a manifest describing the machine and session that produced them. That alignment can't be recovered after the fact. It has to be captured at the source.

Question 2

Will it slow my game down?

Accepted Answer

The engine is written in Rust and leans on hardware-accelerated encoding, so overhead stays low even at high resolutions and frame rates. You set the ceiling: resolution, frame rate and segment length are all yours to tune. You can also choose when uploads happen, so they never fight whatever you're capturing for bandwidth.

Question 3

Is my desktop, my messages or my private stuff recorded?

Accepted Answer

No. Every stream is gated to the target you pick. Video only records that window, inputs are only logged while it has focus, and audio only comes from the target itself, so the rest of your desktop stays off the record. On top of that, a native plugin can be toggled to redact personally identifying information before any data leaves your machine.

Question 4

Where do my recordings get stored?

Accepted Answer

Wherever you configure them to go. Keep them on-device, upload them to your Spatient cloud account, or send them straight to the cloud of the organization you're capturing for.
