Field notes
The documented workflow starts with `kilde doctor`, which checks the recording environment and prompts for missing screen or microphone permissions. Recording can target the whole display, a region, or a single window, with options for mixed or separate audio tracks. The page lists Apple Silicon release binaries and a macOS 14 minimum, while HDR capture adds macOS 15, an HDR display, and HEVC requirements.
