Open Source Licenses & Attribution
RiftRec is built on the shoulders of incredible open-source projects. This page lists all third-party software we use and their respective licenses.
Special Thanks
FFmpeg
The media engine used by RiftRec for encoding, audio processing, probing, clipping, and muxing. RiftRec bundles FFmpeg as separate executable tools.
GPLv3 build
Rust
The programming language powering RiftRec's backend. Rust gives us the performance of C++ with memory safety guarantees — critical for real-time screen capture at 60fps.
MIT / Apache-2.0
Riot Games
League of Legends local client data and supported match-history endpoints used for match history where available. Champion, item, and rune icons from Data Dragon.
RiftRec-Owned Components
RiftRec Audio Helper: RiftRec bundles
The helper uses Microsoft Windows WASAPI through the Rust
riftrec-audio.exe, a first-party component used for local Windows system-audio capture and distributed under RiftRec's proprietary license as part of the desktop app.The helper uses Microsoft Windows WASAPI through the Rust
windows crate, which is listed below under Rust dependencies and is available under MIT or Apache-2.0 terms. Audio encoding, clipping, probing, and final muxing are handled by FFmpeg as a separate executable tool and remain covered by the FFmpeg notice below.
FFmpeg License Notice
FFmpeg Notice: RiftRec bundles FFmpeg as separate executable tools, not as statically linked application code. The bundled Windows FFmpeg build is currently FFmpeg 8.0.1 essentials build from gyan.dev and is built with GPL/version3 components, including libx264 and libx265. Treat the bundled FFmpeg executable tools as licensed under GPLv3.
RiftRec hosts a matching FFmpeg source mirror, GPLv3 license text, checksums, and build notes at /third-party/ffmpeg/. If that page is unavailable, contact support@riftrec.app and RiftRec will provide the corresponding source code for the FFmpeg binaries distributed with RiftRec. This offer is valid for at least three years from the date you received RiftRec.
FFmpeg 8.0.1 source code is also available upstream at https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/tree/n8.0.1. The bundled Windows package is available at https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/packages/ffmpeg-8.0.1-essentials_build.7z. Windows build information is available at https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/.
RiftRec's own source code is proprietary and is not licensed under GPL. RiftRec invokes FFmpeg as a separate process.
