Clip Architect

A free AI short‑video studio that runs on your machine.

What it does

Clip Architect is a free Windows desktop build of the open-source MoneyPrinterTurbo. Upstream is a Python web app you start from a terminal; this is one program you install and open. Type a subject. A model you chose writes the script and the footage keywords, stock video or your own files supply the picture, a voice narrates, and FFmpeg cuts the clips to that voice with subtitles burned in. Every clip can be swapped before rendering. Nothing uploads, queues or gets watermarked. Free, GPL-3.0.

Give it a subject: an LLM writes the script, stock footage or your own files supply the picture, a text-to-speech engine speaks it, and FFmpeg cuts an MP4 for TikTok, Reels or Shorts. Windows desktop, your own keys, GPL-3.0.

A language model writes the script and the search terms. Stock footage or your own files supply the picture. A text-to-speech engine speaks the narration. FFmpeg cuts the clips to the voice track, burns in the subtitles, mixes the music and writes an MP4 sized for TikTok, Reels or Shorts. All of it happens on your computer, on your own API keys. Free on the Microsoft Store / Windows 10 or 11 / GPL-3.0 / No account, no subscription, no cloud render queue Clips trimmed to the voice track, subtitles burned in, music mixed. An illustration, not a screenshot. The app has no in-app posting to social networks — see what it does not do . One recording of the desktop app in use: how it works,…from diflowrin.com

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

  • Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…

  • I made OwnTime to balance between competing priorities in my life. The idea is based on two main influences: the concept of "roles" from "The 5 Choices" (2015), and my repeated failure to effectively implement time blocking due to the necessary flexibility in my role. The app allows you to define time budgets, which are not much more than a few mutually exclusive countdown timers. The UX is essentially that of a chess clock for an arbitrary number of players with configurable time. The whole point of the app is to kick you out of the running role/priority when its time is up.
