How Obskura compares
Most stream recorders push your recordings to their cloud, hold them for a few weeks, then delete them. Obskura records locally and keeps everything on your own drive. See how it stacks up against LiveRec, or browse all of our comparisons.
What's next
Currently in research and development, exploring what's feasible before making any promises.
Self-learning ranker
Your clip suggestions reorder themselves based on what you keep, export, or delete. Stays on-device. No telemetry, no cloud training.
Event search
Type a natural-language event like “funny reaction” or “they jumped into the pool” and jump straight to it. Hybrid recipes fuse visual, speech, audio, and motion signals across time.
