Clank Cut
Hi HN, I made a mac desktop app which your coding agent can connect to and use ur mac to do the recording instead, as well as edit the video, add background music, clone my voice, and publish it to a bucket so ur agent can just automatically make and rerecord tutorials. I've ran into this issue a bunch in the past where I've needed to record a bunch of tutorials on how my software or specific features I've made work (mainly for documentation), and I've constantly needed to re-record things bc of new features or new UI, which has taken so much time. You can go back and a quick run through and…

What it does
A macOS recorder which lets ur claude code and codex record a demo or tutorial. It drives the app in a built-in browser, records, auto-zooms on the real clicks, narrates (your cloned voice if you want), adds music, and returns a shareable MP4.
Describe the flow and an agent drives your web app in Chrome, records the run, and cuts the video. Or record your macOS screen at 60 fps and let the editor auto-zoom to your real clicks.
AI agents: fetch clankcut.com/agent-prompt.txt for this prompt. Installs the clankcut CLI, agent skill, and macOS app. No sudo, checksums verified, one-command uninstall. Rather read it first? install.sh is plain, commented bash. A Mac. Clank Cut is a macOS app, and the AI demo agent drives web apps in an isolated browser bundled with the app — no separate browser needed. Pay as you go for AI model usage (typically under ~$1 per full recording). No subscription tiers or seats. Point it at a URL and describe the flow in a sentence. The agent drives a browser bundled with the app, clicking real buttons rather than guessing at pixels. The take lands in a project like any other recording, and…from clankcut.com

ScreentellJan 2026 · screentell.com · ▲164I’m an indie dev, and every time I launch or ship anything, there’s this familiar mini-hell: “now I need to record a decent demo…” You probably know the drill: - install yet another screen recorder - mess with audio input / system audio - accidentally capture your messy tabs or notifications - re-record because you forgot to hide something sensitive - open a separate editor just to crop, zoom, or add a simple arrow After doing this a few too many times, I realized I was spending way more time fighting tools than making the actual demo. And most of my needs were pretty simple: short…

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
