System requirements
Installing
- Run
RPCTION-Setup-0.1.0.exe. - Windows SmartScreen will warn you. That is expected, see below.
- The installer is per-user: it does not ask for administrator rights and installs to your own profile.
- RPCTION starts into the system tray and shows a short setup.
- Windows may ask to allow screen capture. RPCTION needs it to see what you are pointing at.
- Press CTRL SHIFT R anywhere.
About the SmartScreen warning
RPCTION is not code-signed. A signing certificate costs a few hundred dollars a year and v0.1.0 does not have one, so Windows will show “Windows protected your PC” when you run the installer. Choose More info, then Run anyway.
That warning is not a virus detection. It means Windows has not seen this file signed by a known publisher before. You do not have to take our word for that: the SHA-256 of every file we publish is listed below, so you can check that what you downloaded is what we built.

The installer adds shortcuts and an uninstaller. The portable build is a single executable that installs nothing, useful on a machine you do not want to change.
Uninstalling
Settings › Apps › Installed apps › RPCTION › Uninstall, or run the uninstaller in the install folder. It removes the application, both shortcuts and the registry entry.
Your settings are deliberately left behind, so reinstalling keeps your
hotkey and modes. They live in
%APPDATA%\RPCTION\settings.json, delete that folder for a
completely clean removal.
About your platform
You appear to be on a platform RPCTION does not support yet. The architecture is built to extend to macOS, but nothing has been tested there and nothing is being claimed. Windows 10 and 11 are the supported targets today.
What you get
- Text, URL, email, phone, address, table and QR recognition, all on device.
- Object extraction to a transparent PNG.
- SOURCE: read code off the screen and rebuild it locally, with its origin always stated.
- AUDIO: capture the last 2, 5, 10 or 30 seconds of what you are hearing, as a .wav.
- Motion Mode: follow something moving and export it as video, GIF, PNG sequence, or a transparent extraction.
- Thirteen modes, cycled with Tab, and a rebindable global shortcut.
What is not there yet
- A code-signed installer.
- macOS and Linux builds.
- Languages other than English for text recognition.
- Automatic updates. v0.1.0 does not check for new versions, which is also why it never contacts the network.
Known limitations
RPCTION performs local visual analysis and extracts selectable visual entities. It does not know what things are, there is no object classifier and no cloud model, so some scenes are genuinely ambiguous to it. Two objects of the same colour that touch, something seen through glass, a heavily compressed photograph: these can produce a selection that is not what you meant. The selection is always shown before you act on it, and you can cycle up and down the hierarchy to correct it.
The limitations page is the full, honest list, and the FAQ covers the common questions.
