How do I get notifications when OBS recording starts?

Mynofi automatically connects to OBS Studio via WebSocket API and provides instant notifications when recording starts, stops, or encounters issues. Simply install Mynofi and it will detect your OBS installation automatically.

Does Mynofi work with NVIDIA ShadowPlay?

Yes! Mynofi monitors NVIDIA ShadowPlay recording directory for new files and recording events. It's perfect for gamers who want to capture epic moments without missing recording failures.

Can content creators use Mynofi for Audacity recordings?

Absolutely. Mynofi monitors Audacity recording sessions by tracking file system changes and session data. It's perfect for podcasters and content creators who need reliable audio recording notifications.

How much system resources does the recording monitor use?

Mynofi is extremely lightweight, using less than 50MB RAM and minimal CPU resources. It runs efficiently alongside your content creation applications without impacting performance.

Is Mynofi recording monitoring software free?

Yes, Mynofi is completely free to download and use. There are no subscription fees, premium features, or hidden costs. It's a free tool for content creators to monitor their recording applications.

How does Mynofi differ from other monitoring tools?

Mynofi focuses specifically on content creation workflow monitoring, tracking recording events and status across OBS Studio, Audacity, and NVIDIA ShadowPlay. Unlike general system monitors, Mynofi understands content creation workflows and provides specialized notifications for recording activities, streaming events, and potential issues like black screens or freeze frames.

Does Mynofi access my recording content or personal files?

No! Mynofi only monitors recording events, file creation timestamps, and application status. We never access the actual content of your recordings, audio files, or personal documents. All monitoring is metadata-based - we track when recordings start/stop and detect issues, but never read or process your actual content.

Will it see notifications while playing games fullscreen?

Yes! Even when you're gaming in fullscreen mode, Mynofi's notifications will still pop up to let you know what's happening with your recordings. No more wondering if your gameplay recording is still working while you're in the middle of an epic gaming session.

Does it work with custom OBS setups and plugins?

Yes! No matter how you've customized OBS - with special plugins, fancy scenes, or complex setups - Mynofi will work perfectly. It watches OBS itself, not your specific configuration, so it's compatible with any way you like to set up your streaming or recording.

What if OBS crashes while I'm recording?

Mynofi will immediately let you know if OBS crashes or stops working during a recording. This is really important because when OBS crashes, you might not even notice until it's too late - but Mynofi is always watching and will alert you right away so you can restart everything.

Can it watch multiple recording apps at once?

Yes! If you're running multiple copies of OBS or Audacity at the same time, Mynofi can keep track of all of them. This is great for complex recording setups or when you're working on several projects at once.

Is there a macOS or Linux version planned?

Currently, Mynofi is available for Windows 10 and 11, as this is where OBS Studio, NVIDIA ShadowPlay, and Audacity are most commonly used for content creation. We're evaluating demand for macOS and Linux versions based on user feedback and the availability of these tools on other platforms.
