Interface & AI models

AI is optional.
Its dependencies are not hidden.

Face, person and license-plate detection rely on compatible models installed by the user. The application does not bundle third-party AI model weights by default.

Without imported compatible models, AI-based face, person and license-plate blurring is unavailable. AI detection is not guaranteed to identify every relevant object.
Important limitation

Always review your recordings before sharing.

Confused Recorder provides tools that assist with masking selected visual information. It does not guarantee complete detection, successful masking, anonymity or confidentiality. AI may miss faces, people, license plates and other sensitive details, even when no errors are reported. You are responsible for checking every resulting image and video before publishing or distributing it.

Hardware matters

Built for capable Windows PCs.

Confused Recorder is already in real-world use. AI-assisted processing can be demanding; do not expect entry-level hardware to deliver the same results.

GRAPHICSNVIDIA RTX 3070 Laptop GPU

Lowest reported working GPU configuration, not yet a validated universal minimum.

PROCESSORIntel Core i5 · 10th Gen

Reported lower-end CPU class in use; performance varies by model and workload.

PLATFORMWindows desktop

GPU acceleration and optional AI models depend on the installed software environment.

A dedicated NVIDIA GPU is needed for AI-assisted features, not for basic screenshots. The configurations above are user-reported working systems, not validated universal minimum specifications. CPU, RAM, drivers and performance requirements for video encoding still require release testing.

Before you get started

Frequently asked questions

How can I get the portable version?

Confused Recorder is distributed as a portable package, provided directly by the developer upon email request. No installer is needed, and there is no public direct-download link.

Can I discuss individual pricing or license terms?

Yes. You can contact the developer at devel.qwipart@gmail.com to discuss your circumstances. Individual arrangements are considered at the developer’s sole discretion; the standard listed price remains $220.

What hardware does it require?

Reported working configurations begin at an NVIDIA RTX 3070 Laptop GPU and an Intel Core i5 (10th generation). These are not yet formally validated minimum requirements; AI workload and capture settings affect performance.

Does Confused Recorder upload my captures?

The product is intended to work fully offline, with captures processed and stored locally. Independent verification of the final release is recommended before making privacy-sensitive recordings.

Does the software guarantee that sensitive information is hidden?

No. Masking tools and AI detection can miss content. Always inspect screenshots and video yourself before sharing, publishing or distributing them. An absence of warnings does not mean the recording is safe to share.

Can I use the free version without paying?

Yes. The free edition supports screenshots. Screen video recording requires a paid license.

Are face, person and license-plate models included?

No. Download and import compatible models yourself, according to the model requirements documented by the application. Without those models, the associated AI blur functions do not operate.

Does activating a license require the internet?

No. License verification is offline: your PC hardware ID is signed using RSA-SHA256, and the application verifies the signature with an embedded public key. Contact support after purchase to arrange issuance. The license is tied to one PC and is non-transferable; free reissue is available with purchase proof from the original email.

How do I contact the developer?

Telegram: @arctell · Email: devel.qwipart@gmail.com. You can also contact us about manual license issuance or reissue.

What about FFmpeg and third-party licenses?

FFmpeg is a separate open-source project. Its LGPL/GPL obligations depend on the actual FFmpeg build and distribution method. Third-party license notices and applicable source-availability information will accompany the release.
