# Why OBS?
Instead of implementing a custom screen recorder, rewind uses OBS as the backend recorder. Rationale:
- Cross-platform video capture is complex (platform APIs, drivers, hardware acceleration, A/V sync).
- Implementing a custom recorder is out of scope and would duplicate mature functionality.
- OBS provides a stable, production-grade capture and segmentation pipeline.
