ClippyMe

ClippyMe is a self-hosted web app for creators and editors. Give it a YouTube link or a video file; it finds the moments worth sharing, cuts them into 9:16 clips with captions, and lets you polish and publish them to TikTok, Instagram and YouTube. It can also watch Kick, Twitch and YouTube channels and do all of that automatically. - Finds the best moments. The video is transcribed, and Google Gemini picks and ranks self-contained clips, with a title, hook and captions for each. Clip edges land on sentence boundaries and silences, never mid-word. - Frames them for vertical. Active-speaker tracking keeps the person talking in frame, with a camera that stays still within each shot. You can switch a clip to subject-centred framing or to a letterboxed full frame at any time. - Lets you edit before you post. Colour grade, six animated caption styles, silence and filler-word removal, manual transcript trimming (or "cut the intro" in plain language), hook text, logo and attribution banner — applied when you download or publish, previewed first. - Publishes and schedules through Zernio, picking prime-time slots and spacing posts to respect platform limits. - Runs unattended. The live monitor follows streams and uploads, clips each segment, and publishes the best clips on its own. - Stays under your control. Everything runs on your hardware; clips, settings and keys stay in local folders. Long jobs survive restarts and resume where they stopped. Transcription uses Deepgram (the default) or ElevenLabs when you add its key and select it in Settings, and local Whisper otherwise. Without a Gemini key, ClippyMe still splits the video by topic, but clips are not ranked. The architecture overview explains the design. ClippyMe is the open-source project fralapo/clippyme (https://github.com/fralapo/clippyme) by fralapo, released under MIT. Ion packages it unmodified from commit 4438c4ab5d73, adding only a manifest, an icon and a start script.
