Wrec is a screen recording utility published by Mew, currently at version 0.3.1, with a total of two versions having been released. The software is designed for the Windows operating system and serves a single, clearly defined purpose: recording one or more Windows windows into a single MP4 video file. This distinguishes Wrec from conventional screen capture tools that record an entire display, as it instead focuses on capturing selected application windows, either individually or in combination, and consolidating the resulting footage into one output file. The use of the MP4 format means recordings are produced in a widely supported container that can be played back on most modern devices, media players, and editing platforms without additional conversion. Typical use cases for Wrec include creating software demonstrations, tutorials, and walkthroughs in which only specific application windows are relevant, thereby avoiding the capture of unrelated desktop content or private information visible elsewhere on screen. It can also serve documentation and support scenarios, where recording the behavior of one or more programs helps illustrate bugs, reproduce issues, or explain workflows to colleagues and users. Because multiple windows can be recorded into a single MP4, the tool is suited to situations where interactions between applications need to be shown together in one continuous video rather than as separate clips. Within a software catalog, Wrec falls into the category of screen recording and screen capture software, and more specifically into the subcategory of window-based recorders for the Windows platform. The current release, version 0.3.1, represents the latest of the two published versions, indicating an early-stage but actively versioned project. Users evaluating Wrec should note its version number and release count when considering maturity, and can refer to the publisher, Mew, for the available builds, with 0.3.1 being the most recent release listed.
