Clowd is a minimalist screen capture / screen recording tool. It sits out of your way in your system tray, and is activated when you press the PrntScr key.

The latest "stable" release can always be downloaded from here. If you are looking for the "beta", you should update via the app settings.

The Clowd.Native project must be compiled before Clowd. If using Visual Studio, this should be done automatically when pressing F6. If using Rider, you may need to edit the run configuration to build Native before starting the main project.

If having any troubles compiling with the IDE, you can replicate a CI build by running the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/clowd/Clowd.git
build.cmd -noDelta
