ChirpTime

An everyday recorder

Most of your days
just disappear.

ChirpTime keeps them. It records quietly in the background — every screen, your camera, your voice — so months from now you can sit down and watch an ordinary Tuesday.

Tue 14 Oct 7:12 AM — one day, kept whole — 11:04 PM 15h 52m

01 It runs and you forget it

Start it in the morning.
Forget it’s there.

ChirpTime sits in a small window in the corner and records all day. No clips to manage, no folders to name, nothing to remember to press. You go do your work. It keeps up.

02 Everything together

Every screen. Your camera.
Your voice.

All of it captured at once and lined up. When you go back, your face, your words and whatever you were looking at are the same moment — not three recordings you have to reconcile.

One line down the middle. Everything on it is the same second.

03 Playback

Scrub to any moment
of any day.

Move through a whole day on one timeline. Watch every monitor at once, or focus on one with your camera in the corner. Slow it down, speed it up, jump straight to the part you were looking for.

04 Catalog

Your days, kept.

Every recording is filed by date and ready to browse. Mark the moments worth keeping as they happen — the call that went well, the bug that finally broke, your kid wandering in — and find them again later.

05 Where it’s at

ChirpTime is open source and early. There’s no installer yet, so you’ll need to build it yourself. It runs on Windows, uses FFmpeg, and works best with an NVIDIA graphics card. Recordings run about 5–8 GB an hour, and nothing is ever deleted unless you delete it.

Start keeping
today.
