**Segra** is a powerful recording software built on Open Broadcaster Software (OBS), designed for gamers and content creators. Record, clip, and upload gameplay highlights effortlessly, with smart automation and deep game integration.

## Why Segra?

**Segra** (pronounced *"say-grah"*) means **"to win"** in Swedish. We built Segra to help you **preserve those moments**: the chaotic fun with friends, the clutch plays, and the wins (*segra!*) that deserve their own highlight reel.

## Built on Industry-Leading Technology

Segra is powered by:

* [**OBS Studio**](https://obsproject.com): The backbone of Segra's recording engine
* [**ObsKit.NET**](https://github.com/Segergren/ObsKit.NET): A modern C#/OBS bridge that powers Segra's recording functionality
* [**FFmpeg**](https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg): For video and image encoding

<Note>
  Segra supports **GPU encoding** (NVENC for NVIDIA, AMD AMF for AMD, Intel QSV for Intel) and **CPU encoding** (x264) for maximum flexibility and performance.
</Note>

## Recording Modes

Segra offers three flexible recording modes:

* **Session Mode**: Records entire gaming sessions from start to finish
* **Buffer Mode**: Maintains a rolling buffer (replay buffer) and saves clips on demand
* **Hybrid Mode**: Combines both approaches for maximum flexibility

## Game Integrations

* Counter-Strike 2
* Dota 2
* Grand Theft Auto
* League of Legends
* Minecraft
* PUBG: Battlegrounds
* Rocket League
* RuneScape: Dragonwilds
* Rust
* War Thunder

<Warning>
  Game integrations require the respective games to be running and properly configured.
