# Markr **Markr is a tiny desktop timer that lets you bookmark moments while you record, so editing means jumping to marks instead of scrubbing the whole clip.** Mark the moment as it happens, not after. Electron/React/TypeScript, MIT. The workflow it fixes: you record a video or stream, something good happens, and later you waste time scrubbing back and forth hunting for it. Markr drops a timestamp the instant it happens, even with the app in the background, so the highlights are already located before you open the editor. ## How it works - **Session timer.** Start to zero the elapsed clock; the running time is what marks are stamped against. - **Mark button + global hotkey.** `Cmd+M` (macOS) or `Ctrl+M` (Windows/Linux) logs a timestamp in `mm:ss`, and the hotkey fires even when Markr isn't focused, so you never break recording flow. - **In-memory, no accounts.** No database, no login; stopping freezes the timer and keeps the marks for review; a new session resets. Deliberately minimal: Electron with React, electron-vite, Tailwind v4, and shadcn/ui; global hotkeys via Electron's `globalShortcut`. Prebuilt installers for macOS, Windows, and Linux (unsigned, so you confirm the first-launch security prompt). It pairs with a recorder like [[OBS Studio]]: OBS captures, Markr indexes the moments worth keeping. ## References - https://github.com/alexcloudstar/markr - https://hackernoon.com/markr-mark-the-moment-while-you-record-not-after ## Related - [[OBS Studio]] - [[Electron]]
