KahlownLite

KahlownLite is a simple-to-use software application designed to stealthily record your desktop's activity and save it as video files. It doesn't feature complicated options or configuration parameters, making it accessible to all types of users.

The setup operation is fast and shouldn't give you any trouble. The only notable aspect about it is that it requires .NET Framework installed.

You are welcomed by a user-friendly interface, represented by a common-looking window with a neatly organized structure, where you can start tinkering with settings.

KahlownLite can be asked to run at every Windows startup in stealth mode, in order to automatically begin capturing the desktop. Just keep in mind that administrative privileges are required.

It lets you edit codec information regarding the compressor user, color depth and video quality, as well as open the program's directory without leaving its interface. The app is hidden from the taskbar and task manager.

The free edition doesn't leave much room for customization, though. If you want to access the full features, you have to purchase the complete edition, where it's possible to take screenshots at a regular time interval, encrypt videos and snapshots, restrict the access of other users by password-protecting Kahlown, pause and resume the screen recording when locking and unlocking the PC, set any output destination for saved files, and use the tool on multiple monitors.

No error dialogs popped up in our tests, and the utility didn't freeze or crash. It used minimal CPU and memory. Unfortunately, the free edition has little features to offer. You can explore it for yourself.
