Wispframe records your Mac at 4K 60fps using less than 1% CPU, with 0 dropped frames: pixels stay on the GPU from capture to encode, so recording never slows down what you record. It mixes system audio and mic, puts 2–9 sources on one canvas, uses your iPhone as a camera, redacts faces on-device and adds a Studio framed look. Every feature is a CLI command and the app is an MCP server, so Claude or Cursor can record for you. Unlimited recording. Apple Silicon, macOS 14+.

Could you build this?
No Achieving 4K60 video recording with under 1% CPU requires an ultra-low-level zero-copy GPU pipeline and hardware-accelerated video encoding expertise.
What it would actually take: A working system must be implemented in Swift and Metal, utilizing ScreenCaptureKit to stream frame surfaces directly into GPU texture memory without CPU roundtrips. Frames must be composited via custom Metal compute shaders and handed off directly to VideoToolbox for hardware-accelerated HEVC/H.264 encoding. The hardest part is eliminating memory copies and CPU-GPU synchronization stalls while managing real-time audio synchronization and CoreML-based face redaction.
