I'm John. I write the code, watch the servers, answer the support email and post the clips on the TikTok account. There is no team behind the name yet.

Parasocials started with a routine every streamer knows. A huge moment happens, chat explodes, and the streamer looks at the camera: "Someone clip that. Did anyone catch it?" Most of the time nobody did, or the clip surfaced the next day after the VOD processed and the algorithm had moved on.

The tools I tried treated clipping as an afterthought: wait for the VOD, scrub hours of dead air, download a huge file, edit it in the morning. So I built something that watches the stream the second it goes live, saves the big moments as they happen, and puts them in a dashboard you can download from, one clip or a whole folder as a ZIP, and post while it's hot.

It runs on Twitch, Kick and TikTok Live today. The free plan is free for good, the paid plans are flat monthly prices with no credits, and you cancel from your own account page. If something breaks or you want a platform added, email me.

Clips only work on streams where the streamer allows clipping, and a streamer can ask to have their channel left out.
