Obskura
Auto record livestreams to your own PC, forever and private
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.
Hey everyone, I'm the solo founder of Obskura.
I kept losing livestream VODs I wanted to keep, and every tool I tried either deleted them on a timer or parked them on someone else's server, sometimes on a public feed anyone could browse. So I built the thing I actually wanted: a recorder that captures streams straight to my own PC.
Obskura watches the channels you choose and auto-records the moment they go live across Twitch, Kick, YouTube, TikTok and more. The recordings are local MP4s you keep forever. No cloud, no retention countdown, nothing uploaded anywhere. You can track unlimited creators, search your library with AI, trim and export clips, and stream it back to your phone while your PC runs.
It's bootstrapped and built solo, so I'd genuinely love your feedback: what's confusing, what's missing, what you'd want next. Happy to answer anything, and thanks for checking it out.
