Products that do what Recut automatically removes silence from videos – built with Tauri does
I released a new version of Recut recently, rewritten from the ground up using Rust, Svelte, Tauri, TypeScript, and Tailwind (RUSTTT stack for the win!). It's the first app I've built with Tauri and I've really enjoyed it. Some back story: Recut is a tool I built to speed up my screencast editing workflow. It's like a lightweight single-purpose video editor. It chops out the pauses, with some knobs to tweak how closely it cuts and what it leaves in, and lets you get a live preview of what it'll look and sound like with the cuts applied. It can then export to a handful of other editors,…

A year ago, my co-founder launched Desktop Docs here on HN. It's a Mac app we built with Electron that uses CLIP embeddings to search photos and videos locally with natural language. We got positive feedback from HN and our first paying customers, but the app was almost 1GB and clunky to use. TLDR; rebuilding in Rust was the right move. So we rewrote the app with Rust and Tauri and here are the results: - App size is 83% smaller: 1GB → 172MB - DMG Installer is 70% smaller: 232MB → 69.5MB - Indexing files is faster: A 38-minute video now indexes in ~3 minutes instead of 10-14 minutes -…

Our team is filled with technologists and creators, and when we record and edit videos, 80% of the time is spent chopping up the video, removing silences, and picking the right takes. So we decided to build a tool that did that for you — or at least get you there most of the way! Our initial implementation is somewhat naïve and uses a user configurable silence threshold that just reads in volume levels. In the future, we’d like to use a frequency-based approach that focuses on the human voice. We’re also open to ideas, so let us know if you have any!

Hi HN, I'm excited to share my open source project, a browser orchestrator. It's purpose is to make it easy to manage many browser profiles on one system. Currently it only works on MacOS, but since I've built it using Tauri (which is a Rust backend and TypeScript frontend), I expect to add Linux and Windows support in the future. I've built it primarily for myself as I use a lot of browsers and having an easy way to manage all of my profiles would make (have made, actually) my dock less cluttered haha. Also, part of why I built it is because as someone who doesn't really care about…

I made this mostly to make content creation faster. When recording a youtube video/ podcast. there's alot of downtime (silence) while looking at scripts or getting the correct item to display. So I made a webapp to automatically cut and stich the video back together then I can further edit in davinci resolve. But I recently found out that this is crazy good for rewatching lectures or meeting recordings, No need to render, just drop the video in and watch it right away. 30min lecture can be watched in 12min! I even added auto generation of subtitles to make studying lecture /meeting…

I built Fresh to challenge the status quo that terminal editing must require a steep learning curve or endless configuration. My goal was to create a fast, resource-efficient TUI editor with the usability and features of a modern GUI editor (like a command palette, mouse support, and LSP integration). Core Philosophy: - Ease-of-Use: Fundamentally non-modal. Prioritizes standard keybindings and a minimal learning curve. - Efficiency: Uses a lazy-loading piece tree to avoid loading huge files into RAM - reads only what's needed for user interactions. Coded in Rust. - Extensibility: Uses…

Hey everyone! We launched the first version of Cap earlier this year. It wasn't great. We had tons of feedback. A couple of months ago we started rebuilding Cap from the ground up (Tauri V2 + SolidJS). We're now focused on being local first. Cap is 100% free to use locally. New features include a powerful editor, screenshots, hotkeys and just overall a much better experience. Would love for you to test it out - appreciate you! Cheers, Richie

After building several Tauri desktop apps, I kept hitting the same wall: there's no reliable way to access cameras across Windows, macOS, and Linux. Every project meant reinventing camera integration, dealing with platform-specific APIs, and debugging permission issues. So I built CrabCamera – a Tauri plugin that handles all the camera complexity for you. What it does: - One API, three platforms: Same Rust code works on Windows (DirectShow), macOS (AVFoundation), and Linux (V4L2) - Permission handling: Automatically requests camera permissions on each platform - Format conversion: Takes care…

Seamlessly automate your audio-visual setup! This open-source framework uses the Open Sound Control protocol to integrate audio mixer consoles, OBS, PTZ cameras, and more. Perfect for live production enthusiasts, streamers, and tech tinkerers. I have made it originally to meet our needs, then opensourced it: We needed to move a PTZ cam based on the stage/pulpit mute states on our X32, but it is capable for way more. Let me know what do you guys think! Cheers!

Descript costs $24/mo, so I built this over a single weekend with Fable! Introducing Rescript: edit videos by simply editing the transcript text. Drop in a video and it is transcribed locally with per-word timestamps and speaker labels. Delete words in the transcript and the corresponding clip is cut from the video. Runs fully in the browser: Local, free, offline and open source. → Github https://github.com/wassgha/rescript → App https://wassgha.github.io/rescript
