Powder
What Powder is
Powder uses AI to turn gameplay recordings and completed streams into clips and shareable highlights. It looks for game-specific moments across more than 40 popular games, analyzes audio for emotional moments, and tracks community engagement for moments that prompt fan reactions. Keyword and semantic transcript search can help users find moments in footage. The recorder captures gameplay, game sound, and voice, supports up to 4K UHD at high frame rates, and can collect audio from multiple devices, including voice chat in programs such as Discord. Powder analyzes local recordings and completed, publicly available streams from Twitch, YouTube, or Kick. Its AI runs on Windows PCs, so analysis happens on-device. It is post-processing software: recordings must finish and streams must end before clips can be extracted. Powder is a Windows-only PC app and does not support Linux, macOS, or mobile apps. The free plan includes unlimited gameplay recording and analysis, local file analysis, AI highlights, and 1080p exports with a Powder outro. Powder Pro costs $9.99/month and adds Twitch and YouTube connections, VOD analysis, custom AutoEdits, community clip detection, and exports up to 4K 120 FPS without an outro.
