What RePlays is

RePlays records, clips, and shares gameplay, automatically managing recordings of detected running games and providing a clip editor. Its recording functionality uses libobs from the OBS Project, and instant replay is supported. Integrations for Counter-Strike 2, League of Legends, PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS, and Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege can bookmark moments such as kills, assists, and deaths. Windows users can download an installer from the latest release. Linux support is still in progress and is generally usable only by building the software from source. RePlays is free and open source under the GPL-3.0 license. The project uses C# (.NET 8) for its backend and TypeScript with React for its interface; it uses Microsoft Edge WebView2 on Windows and WebKit2GTK on Linux. Its nightly release may include breaking changes and is offered at the user's risk. The website says uploaded videos and other data are stored on its servers in the EU. It says browser cookies are limited to those needed for service functionality, with no tracking or marketing cookies. RePlays.app accepts videos made with RePlays recording software, but not videos recorded directly from mobile devices.
