Hey Product Hunt, I built Clippy because every clip tool I tried annoyed me in some specific way. Shadowplay only works on NVIDIA, Medal launches a heavy Electron app that lags my game, OBS replay buffer needs manual setup every time I switch titles. I just wanted a button I could press to save the last 30 seconds and move on. So Clippy started as a side project: a small Rust binary that keeps a rolling buffer in RAM and writes the last N seconds to disk when you press the hotkey. From there it grew an editor, a share page, and a feed so people can post their clips. A few things I'm proud of: • Native binary, no Electron. • NVENC encoding in-process so capture sits off your render thread. • Multi-track audio. Game, desktop, and mic land on separate tracks for the editor. • Auto-detects your active game window so you don't have to crop later. • Your clips stay on your disk until you choose to upload. Free, no account needed to record. The site (clippy.rip) is for sharing once you do want to post something. Would love feedback, especially from anyone who tried Shadowplay, Medal, or Outplayed and bounced off something specific. That's the kind of thing I want to make sure Clippy doesn't repeat.
