Eklipse vs Powder: the AI clipper that goes anywhere you do.
Powder shut down in July 2026, so if you clipped with it you need somewhere to go. Powder was a free, on-device Windows app for about 40 games. Eklipse is the cloud alternative that runs on web, iOS, and Android, covers 3,000+ games, and gets clips posted for you.

What you keep, and what you gain
Powder did plenty well. Here is how Eklipse carries it forward.
- Free and local. Powder gives gamers a free Windows recorder that clips on-device, with no cloud bills, a big part of why it is loved.
- Multi-signal detection. It reads audio, transcript, and emotion to catch moments, even off-stream, and turns long sessions into automontages.
- Clip from any device. Eklipse runs on web, iOS, and Android. Powder was a Windows-only app, with no Mac, no Linux, and no mobile.
- Bigger game library. Game-aware detection across 3,000+ titles versus the ~40 supported games plus an audio fallback Powder offered.
- AI voice command. Tell the AI what to clip hands-free while you play, something Powder never offered.
- AI-Edit and Content Publisher. Auto-add memes and templates, then schedule and post to TikTok, Reels, and Shorts without leaving Eklipse.
- Edit and post from your phone. Full mobile editor plus one-click publishing, so you can finish a clip anywhere, not just at your PC.

What creators say after making the switch
Real reviews from streamers using Eklipse on web and mobile.
“I love Eklipse. It works really well and captures moments when you laugh or say certain keywords. I love the edits too. I used to use Streamladder, but I’ve been loving Eklipse.”
“They are really making my job as a streamer easier, I don’t have to stop playing to clip something, it’s just automatically clipped.”
“Well worth the subscription. Cuts down time editing, and they are always adding games.”
“I just started streaming and didn’t know the first thing about video editing. Eklipse makes it so easy. You just link your Twitch or YouTube, and it pulls the clips for you. Highly recommend for anyone looking to grow their brand.”
“Eklipse has saved me from manually finding clips, and I’m really grateful for that. The app also has an editing feature, which I think is really cool.”
“This is a great app! It does exactly what it’s supposed to do… after I did a stream it took about an hour or less to make 43 clips. One of the first apps I’ve found that has actually worked.”
