From early users
“It just works. I record several streams at once and it’s been rock solid, set it and forget it. I ran into one bug early on and the founder shipped a fix within 90 minutes. I’ve never had support answer that fast. Haven’t dug into the editor or the AI tools yet, but I’ll be testing the rest soon.”
