Files, projects and playlists

Where your recordings live

Each recording is a project folder inside C:\Users\<you>\Kamo\projects. Exports are separate: they go to your Videos folder (see Export).

Inside a project folder:

File	What it is
project.json	Every edit: zooms, trim, style, webcam, captions
screen.mp4	The raw screen recording. Kamo never changes it.
audio.m4a / system.m4a	Microphone and computer sound, if you recorded them
webcam.mp4	The camera, if you recorded it
events.jsonl	Mouse movement, clicks and scrolls. Never the keyboard.
frames/	A small screenshot every 5 seconds, used by the MCP server
background-….png	A copy of your own wallpaper image, if you used one

Kamo's settings and logs live in %APPDATA%\Kamo.

Manage projects on Home

Under Recent projects, newest first. More actions (⋯) on a card has Rename (or double-click the name), Show in folder and Delete. Deleting moves the project to the Recycle Bin, so you can restore it from there.

Move or back up

Copy whole project folders; each one is self-contained. To move everything:

1. Quit Kamo.
2. Copy Kamo\projects (including playlists.json) to the new place.
3. Open Kamo and point Settings → Folders → Projects folder at the new place.

Changing the projects folder doesn't move existing projects. New recordings go to the new folder, and Home lists only that folder, so older projects disappear from the list until you move them or switch back. Nothing is deleted.

Playlists

Group recordings on Home, locally and for free: New playlist, then Add to playlist on any card. Inside a playlist, drag to reorder or use Move up / Move down. Deleting a playlist keeps the recordings. Playlists are saved in playlists.json in the projects folder.

A damaged project

If a project can't be read, Home shows it as Damaged project. Open raw video plays screen.mp4 in your system's video player, so the recording itself is never lost. If it says the project was made by a newer Kamo, update the app.
