Game Detection & Auto-Recording

ClipMac can automatically start recording when you launch a game.

Setting Up Auto-Recording#

On the Dashboard, you'll see sections for managing which games to record:

• Selected — Games you've chosen to monitor
• Applications — Browse all available apps
• Running — Apps currently running on your Mac
• Custom — Manually added apps

Adding Games#

1. Click the Applications tab to browse installed apps
2. Click the + button next to a game to add it to your Selected list
3. Or use the Running tab to add currently running games
4. Use the Custom tab to manually add apps by path

Auto-Recording#

When you launch a game from your Selected list:

1. ClipMac detects the game launch
2. Recording starts automatically
3. The replay buffer begins capturing
4. Use hotkeys to save clips as usual

Supported Games#

ClipMac works with most games, including:

• Steam games
• Native macOS games
• Games running via Rosetta
• Java-based games (Minecraft, etc.)

Tip: If a game isn't detected, try launching it first, then add it from the "Running" tab.
