LocalClip is an on-device AI video studio for macOS that turns long recordings — livestreams, podcasts, Zoom calls, webinars — into vertical social clips with word-by-word subtitles, titles, and hashtags. Everything runs locally on Apple Silicon using mlx, so your footage never leaves your Mac and there are no per-minute fees. Drop a file, let it find the best moments, and export clips for TikTok, Reels, Shorts, or Facebook.

Imagent (Imagine + Agent) gives AI agents the ability to generate images, video, and speech as a first-class step in their workflows, behind a single interface that hides the differences between providers and models. It supports OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Google Imagen/Gemini, Flux/BFL, BytePlus/Volcano Engine Seedream/Seedance, xAI Grok, MiniMax TTS, and ElevenLabs TTS through one consistent CLI and desktop app. Every generated asset — plus reusable characters, objects, backgrounds, styles, and references — is captured in a managed local library you can search, curate, and reuse across projects instead of regenerating from scratch. It ships as a CLI (@imagent/cli) and an Electron desktop app, with a bundled skill (npx skills add unliftedq/imagent) that lets Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, and Hermes agents call it natively. Apache-2.0 licensed, fully local, no telemetry or account system.
