What it does
Obskura is a local-first DVR for livestreams. It auto-records public Twitch, Kick, YouTube, TikTok, and other streams to your own PC the second a channel goes live, so you never miss a VOD. No cloud, no retention timers, no public feed. Recordings are local MP4s you own forever. Track unlimited creators, search your library with AI (transcript or visual), trim and batch-export clips, and watch from your phone while your PC runs. No account required.
Never miss a livestream. Obskura auto-records public streams locally when channels go live. Private, lightweight, and runs 24/7 across 10+ platforms.
The private alternative to LiveRec, StreamRecorder.io, and LiveStreamRecorder.com. Paste a URL. Obskura probes the channel, detects when it goes live, and starts recording locally — across Twitch, YouTube, Kick, TikTok and more. Browse every recording, organized by streamer. Thumbnails, metadata, instant playback — and the files never leave your machine. Three local-only passes per recording. Activity scoring to find the interesting parts. Visual search to describe a moment. Speech search to jump to a phrase. No uploads. No cloud. Local AI proposes clips, surfaces a transcript, and lets you keep/reject in one keystroke. Export the cuts you love — without uploading a single frame. Pair your…from obskura.app

- OAOwncast – An open-source, self-hosted live streaming server2020 · ▲241
I wanted to share the status with the Owncast project. If Wordpress is your self-hosted version of Medium, then this is your self-hosted version of Twitch. I've been little by little chipping away at building an easy to use and super useful live streaming server for individuals. It's still early days, but some recent updates include a dashboard where you can see some basic viewer metrics, configuration settings, and how your hardware is handling all that video crunching. We all know working with video can be intensive on the hardware side, so hopefully this helps people keep tabs on things.…

The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
