How it works

Three steps. Two minutes.
Every platform.

No editing skills required. No software to learn. Just one hotkey and Almeda does the rest.

01
Install

Install & pair in 30 seconds

Download the Almeda desktop app on Windows (or use the CLI on macOS). Open it, enter the 6-digit pairing code from your dashboard, and you're connected. The app runs silently in your system tray.

  • Windows desktop app with system tray, starts automatically on boot
  • Connects to OBS via WebSocket (auto-detects your OBS settings)
  • macOS CLI agent for terminal users
  • One-time setup. Stays paired until you unpair.
02
Capture

Press F7 during your stream

Something clip-worthy happens? Hit F7 (or your custom hotkey). The OBS replay buffer saves the last 60-120 seconds and uploads it to the cloud in the background. No FPS drops. No alt-tabbing. Keep playing.

  • Global hotkey works even when OBS isn't focused
  • Bandwidth-throttled upload so your ping stays stable
  • Configurable clip duration: 60s, 90s, or 120s
  • Also works with the capture button on your dashboard
03
Publish

AI handles the rest

Your clip hits our cloud worker. In about 2 minutes, it's transcribed, captioned, cropped to vertical + square, and if you've set up auto-post rules, published to TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and X. All without you leaving your stream.

  • Whisper AI transcription with word-level timestamps
  • Auto-rendered in 3 formats: landscape, vertical, square
  • Smart framing analysis picks the best crop region
  • Auto-post to all platforms or review in your dashboard first
