Is Reclux free?
Yes. There is no account, no trial and nothing to pay.
Where is my recording kept?
On your own computer. While you record, it is written to the browser’s private storage on your drive. When you press Save file, you choose the folder or drive. It is never uploaded.
Does it need the internet?
No. Reclux made zero network requests in our offline test. You only need a connection to download the .zip.
Does it keep recording when I switch apps or tabs?
Yes. This was tested with the recorder hidden behind other tabs and apps.
What happens if my browser or PC crashes?
Reclux writes the video in small pieces as you record. Next time you open it, it offers to recover the recording.
Why do I need Developer mode?
Browsers add extensions automatically only from their own stores. Reclux is not in a store, so you add it once with Load unpacked, which needs Developer mode. Firefox uses its debugging page instead.
How do I update or remove it?
To update, extract the new .zip over the same folder, then press reload on Reclux in the extensions page. To remove it, click Remove on that page, then delete the folder. In Firefox, add the new .zip next time, or simply close Firefox to remove it.
Does it work on Mac, tablets or a phone?
Reclux runs on desktop computers. Tablets and phones are not supported for now.
Can it edit videos?
No. Reclux records and saves. It does not trim or edit.
Is the code public?
Yes. You can read all of it on GitHub.
