VPULSE records your gameplay and finds the moments worth keeping. It runs on Open Broadcaster Software, captures at high framerates without getting in the way, and marks your kills as they happen so you are not scrubbing a two-hour session looking for the one clip you remember.
It is a companion project to VPZONE.TV — sign in with your VPZONE account to carry your membership across. Everything below works signed out, on your own machine.
Games VPULSE knows are clipped automatically while you play. For the rest — Battlefield 6, Delta Force, anything with no integration — it reads the kill feed back off the recording afterwards. Box the feed once, and every later session of that game scans with the same setup.
Each candidate comes with the frame it was found on, so you confirm what actually happened rather than trusting a label.
Settings says which mode each game uses and what it marks, so there is no guessing why one game clips itself and another does not.
Connect Gamefolio once, then any clip publishes from its ⋯ menu with a title and description, and
the share link comes back into the app. VPULSE signs in as a public OAuth client: it holds no
client secret and never sees your password — you approve it on Gamefolio's own page, and
disconnecting revokes the grant there rather than just forgetting it locally.
- Auto-start recording — begins when your game launches, stops when it closes.
- Auto-clipping — Counter-Strike 2, PUBG, League of Legends, Rocket League, GTA, Dota 2, Rust, Minecraft and War Thunder are read directly, and kills, deaths, goals and assists are bookmarked live.
- Semi-automatic clipping for everything else — kills found afterwards by reading the game's kill feed. Whether a row is your kill or your death comes from where your name sits in it; anything it cannot read that way is listed as unclear and left for you to decide.
- Shareable game profiles — a calibrated kill feed region is one JSON file, in relative coordinates, so it works at any resolution and on anyone's monitor. Ships with profiles for PUBG, Battlefield 6 and Delta Force; see Backend/Games/Profiles.
- Instant clipping — save the last moments with a hotkey, without ending the session.
- Publish to Gamefolio — connect your Gamefolio account once in
Settings → Account, then publish any clip or highlight from its
⋯menu and get a share link back. Sign-in is OAuth 2.1 with PKCE as a public client, so no secret ships in the binary and no password is ever typed into VPULSE; disconnecting revokes the grant server-side, not just locally. Free Gamefolio accounts cap clips at 100 MB — the built-in Compress action is the way past that. - AI highlights — assembles a reel from your bookmarked moments. Runs entirely on your machine.
- Streamer mode — if OBS is already streaming, VPULSE records through it instead of capturing alongside it, so clips keep your overlays and facecam and cost no second encode.
- Lightweight — NVENC/AMD VCE, 4K at up to 144 FPS, minimal impact on the game.
VPULSE is built to help you preserve those moments: the chaotic fun with friends, the clutch plays, and the wins that deserve their own highlight reel.
VPULSE is a fork of Segra by @Segergren, rebranded and maintained by @verticalhost alongside VPZONE.TV.

VPULSE-win-Setup.exefrom the latest release. - Install — run the setup.
- Configure
- Set your recording folder and video quality.
- Assign hotkeys for clipping.
- Optionally sign in with VPZONE to carry your membership across.
Recording folder: point it at a folder of its own (
D:\VPULSE), not a drive root. VPULSE enforces a storage limit by deleting its oldest recordings, and it should only ever be counting its own.

The easiest useful contribution is a kill feed profile for a game VPULSE does not ship one for. Calibrate it once in the app, then follow Backend/Games/Profiles/README.md — it is a single JSON file, and it works for everyone who plays that game.
Also welcome: bug reports, feature ideas, and pull requests.

Privacy
Recording, clipping, kill detection and highlight generation run entirely on your machine and send nothing — the kill feed scan reads your recording locally and never uploads it. VPULSE makes three kinds of network request, and no data leaves your PC except where listed:
- Game detection data — downloads a public game list and the recorder runtime. Anonymous, read-only, no account involved. These are still served from the upstream Segra CDN; moving them to VPZONE infrastructure is planned.
- Sign-in (optional) — signing in with VPZONE sends you to
vpzone.tvand stores a token on your PC, encrypted for your Windows account. VPULSE reads your username and whether your VPZ+ membership is active. Covered by VPZONE's privacy policy. - Publishing (optional) — connecting Gamefolio sends you to
app.gamefolio.comand stores a token on your PC, encrypted for your Windows account. Publishing uploads that one clip, with the title and description you type. Nothing is uploaded unless you press Upload, and signing out revokes the token at Gamefolio rather than only deleting the local copy.
Airplane mode in Settings disables every one of these.
- Segra by @Segergren — the project VPULSE is forked from.
- OBS Studio: the backbone of VPULSE's recording engine.
- ObsKit.NET: the modern C#/OBS bridge that powers VPULSE's recording functionality.
- FFmpeg: for video and image encoding.
