Several windows.
One file for each.
All your sources, at the same moment.
Their pictures in sync. Their sounds kept apart.
And all the freedom to edit later.

Scroll. Everything falls into place.01 / 03HOW IT WORKS
Capture everything.
Mix nothing.
A concert, a conference, a conversation. Everything happens at once. Each window keeps its picture, its sound and its file. Together during capture. Independent in the edit.
Three simultaneous sources. Three independent files.
The same moment.
Every possibility afterwards.
SEPARATE AUDIO
FREEDOM TO EDIT
BEHIND THE SCENES
Everything is here. Right where it belongs.
Your control room, as it is. This is the actual Polyptyque interface.

FROM TAKE TO EDIT
Peace of mind.
Even hours later.
For sessions that run long and projects that need flexibility. The technical details stay where they belong, in the background.
Your windows, opened for you.
At launch, Polyptyque opens the current scene’s windows by itself, browsers and apps alike. A mic can be added, in its own file.
Ready for your timeline.
A constant frame rate and a shared clock. MKV files convert to MP4 without re-encoding, with no loss of quality.
Long sessions, worry-free.
Files written as they go, disk space monitored, and an encoder restarted automatically if something goes wrong. One source can restart without interrupting the others. A file cut off by a power outage is repaired at the next launch.
Your scenes. Your schedule.
Keep your groups of sources and schedule when a recording starts and ends. Once, or on the days of the week you choose.
LIGHTWEIGHT BY DESIGN
The power goes to your sources.
Not to the interface.
A native app written in Rust, a Slint interface, and encoding on your graphics card when available.

THE LAST DETAILS
Before you hit
record.
Is Polyptyque really free?
Yes. Polyptyque is free, and its source code is available under the GPL-3.0-or-later license. No account is needed. View the source code
Is it available for macOS or Linux?
Capture is currently available on Windows 10 (version 2004 or later) and Windows 11, 64-bit. There is no capture version for macOS or Linux yet.
Can the sound of two browsers be kept separate?
Yes. Each browser source uses a profile of its own: its sound stays separate, even when two sources use the same browser. An app source’s sound is captured at the app level.
Will the files work in my video editor?
Each source produces an MKV file at a constant frame rate. Polyptyque offers lossless conversion to MP4, without re-encoding, for editors that struggle with MKV, including Premiere Pro.
Why does Windows show a warning during installation?
Polyptyque isn’t digitally signed yet. If SmartScreen shows “Windows protected your PC”, check that the file comes from the official releases of venaciteam/polyptyque. “More info”, then “Run anyway” lets the installation continue.
How do I install the Stream Deck plugin?
Download the plugin, then open the .streamDeckPlugin file to install it in Stream Deck (version 7.1 or later, on Windows). In Polyptyque’s Settings, turn on “Allow control by other programs”. Then drag an action from the Polyptyque category onto a key. The plugin is currently in beta. Read the plugin guide
