Native Screen Recorder & Instant Replay

Native Screen Recorder & Instant Replay is the screen-capture toolkit we wished we had on every project. Bug repros that are faster to record than to describe. An Instant Replay feature that lets players save the last moments of gameplay on demand. Trailer footage pulled straight from a device. One package, three problems solved properly. Built natively where it matters.

Add a single MonoBehaviour and drop it to the scene, then call its API. That's the entire setup. The facade is DontDestroyOnLoad

EXAMPLE USAGE

// --- Screenshots ---
recorder.TakeScreenshot(jpeg => { /* ... */ });

// --- Manual recording (start/stop) ---
recorder.StartRecording();
recorder.StartRecording(() => Debug.Log("recording started"));
recorder.StopRecording(mp4 => File.WriteAllBytes(path, mp4));

// --- Fixed-duration recording ---
recorder.RecordFor(10, mp4 => File.WriteAllBytes(path, mp4)); // records for 10s

// --- Instant replay (rolling buffer) ---
recorder.StartInstantReplay();
recorder.StartInstantReplay(() => Debug.Log("replay buffer running"));
recorder.SaveInstantReplay(15, mp4 => Save(mp4)); // Saves last 15s
recorder.SaveInstantReplay(0, mp4 => Save(mp4)); // Saves entire buffer
recorder.ClearInstantReplayBuffer(); // drop all buffered frames without stopping the replay
recorder.StopInstantReplay();

// --- HTTP dashboard server ---
recorder.StartHttpServer();
recorder.StartHttpServer(8080);
recorder.StopHttpServer();

// --- State queries ---
if (recorder.IsRecording) { /* ... */ }
if (recorder.IsInstantReplayRecording) { /* ... */ }
if (recorder.IsHttpServerRunning) { /* ... */ }

// --- Configuration & logging ---
recorder.Initialize(myConfig); // re initialize recorder with a new config
ScreenRecorderFacade.SetLogger(myLogger); // set your custom logger for recorder

// --- UniTask integration (optional, when UniTask is installed) ---
byte[] jpeg = await recorder.TakeScreenshotAsync(ct);
await recorder.StartRecordingAsync(ct);
byte[] mp4 = await recorder.StopRecordingAsync(ct);
byte[] mp4 = await recorder.RecordForAsync(10, ct);
await recorder.StartInstantReplayAsync(ct);
byte[] clip = await recorder.SaveInstantReplayAsync(15, ct);
byte[] clip = await recorder.SaveInstantReplayAsync(0, ct);

NATIVE WHERE IT MATTERS

Mobile recording goes through the platform's own hardware encoders, not a CPU readback loop. This means:

- Full game framerate
- Full game resolution
- No thermal cliff.
- No dropped frames or any additional bottleneck.

• iOS - ReplayKit + AVAssetWriter. The included Xcode build post-processor links ReplayKit.framework and writes the required Info.plist keys for you.

• Android - MediaProjection + MediaCodec + MediaMuxer behind a foreground service. Manifest is merged into your build automatically.

• Editor and other platforms - Pure C# software pipeline.

Choose H.264 or HEVC. Bitrate, framerate, and keyframe interval are configurable with the presets.

INSTANT REPLAY

A rolling in-memory buffer that records continuously in the background. Just call SaveInstantReplay and the last N seconds become an MP4 clip.

Buffer length is configurable from 1 second up to 10 minutes, with its own independent quality settings so you can run the Instant Replay buffer lighter than your on-demand recordings without compromising either.

DEBUG DASHBOARD

The package ships with a built-in browser dashboard, served by an embedded HTTP server. Open it on browser, point it at the device's IP, and trigger recordings, instant replays, and screenshots from your PC while your game runs on a phone in your hand. No cables, no third-party tools, no screen-sharing apps.

Easy save/share your recordings and screenshots from device via dashboard!

Turn it on in development. Leave it off in release builds.

EASY CUSTOMIZABLE

Package allows you to configure almoast everything that matters via ScreenRecorderConfig ScriptableObject with a custom inspector!

• Recorder mode (native or software)
• Native presets: Low, Medium, High, VeryHigh, or Custom
• Codec: H.264 or HEVC
• Match Application.targetFrameRate, or override it
• Software path: output resolution, target FPS, JPEG quality
• Independent settings for normal recordings and the Instant Replay buffer
• Instant Replay buffer length: 1 to 600 seconds (up to 10 minutes)

Different settings per scene or requirements? Just create two seperate configs and swap them! As simple as that!

UNITASK SUPPORT

Every public API method has it's UniTask extension method that lights up automatically if UniTask is in your project.
