ABOUT

I build whatever software pops into my head.

Sometimes it's an idea I can't shake. Sometimes it's something I've seen done poorly that I knew I could do better. Whatever it is, the goal is the same: make it the best in its category, or as close to that as I can get.

Useful, sharp, and clean.

Clean Frames
One toggle to put your PC into a clean gaming state — and one toggle to put it right back.
Clean Frames — the one-toggle game boost window, Dry-Run on

Flip it on and Clean Frames forces a high-performance power plan, sets your NVIDIA GPU to "Prefer Maximum Performance", and optionally closes, throttles, or freezes background apps. Flip it off and every reversible change is undone. A built-in A/B benchmark (Intel PresentMon) measures your frame-times before and after — so you can see exactly what it did.

WHAT IT DOES
Power plan — High/Ultimate Performance, 100% min CPU state
GPU — NVIDIA "Prefer Maximum Performance"
Throttle / Freeze / Close — tame chosen background apps
Game DVR off · A/B Benchmark — 1%/0.1% lows, stutter count
✓ Safe by design. Dry-Run is ON by default — nothing changes until you say so — every reversible change is restored on revert, and it never reads, writes, or injects into game memory (anti-cheat-safe).
↓ DOWNLOAD FOR WINDOWS · 69 MB
Runs as Administrator, so on first launch Windows shows a blue "Windows protected your PC" warning (it isn't code-signed yet) — click More info → Run anyway. Use at your own risk; it's not malicious.

Reactive Overlay
Reactive controller & keyboard overlays for your stream — built in the browser, dropped straight into OBS.
The Reactive Overlay studio — a PS5 DualSense with the live customizer panel: controller picker, skins, recolor, paddles, press-glow

Pick a device — a controller or a keyboard (+ mouse) — choose a skin, recolor it, add a creator code, then copy one URL into an OBS Browser Source. The on-screen device lights up live as you play. No build, no install, no backend — it all runs in the browser.

WHAT'S INSIDE
9 controllers — PS5 DualSense / Edge, DS4, Xbox, Steam, SCUF & more, from real photos
Skins, live recolor, back-paddles, creator codes, touchpad eyes
Keyboards (60 / 65 / 75%) + mouse — per-key paint, spotlight / reaction dim modes
Press-glow (solid / halo / RGB cycle) · design-your-own wrap · transparent OBS export
How it works: pick a device → customize → Copy URL → paste into an OBS Browser Source. The background is transparent, so only the device shows.
🎮 LAUNCH THE STUDIO →
Free and runs entirely in your browser. Controllers react live via the Gamepad API; keyboards use a tiny optional helper to react while a game has focus.

Controller Polling Tool icon — a cyan telemetry pulse
● LIVE · WINDOWS 10/11 · CHROME / EDGE / OPERA
Controller Telemetry + Polling Rate
Read your controller's live telemetry in the browser — and change its USB polling rate right from the page.

A single-page diagnostic tool for HID controllers (deep DualSense support). All telemetry runs locally over WebHID — nothing leaves your machine. Click 1000 Hz and a tiny background helper drives the driver tool off-screen, then the page auto-reconnects and verifies the new rate live — no windows, no manual steps.

WHAT IT DOES
Live telemetry — polling rate / latency / jitter sparklines, raw HID report viewer
Stick tests — circularity, deadzone & drift
DualSense tools — recenter, stick-range calibration, battery, triggers, LED
Change polling rate — 125 / 250 / 500 / 1000 Hz, applied invisibly & verified live
How it works: click a rate → the helper drives hidusbf's Setup.exe off-screen → the page reconnects and re-measures → "✓ verified ~1000 Hz". Fully reversible with the page's Restore button.
⬇ DOWNLOAD INSTALLER · 12 MB
Windows 10/11 (64-bit) + Chrome, Edge, or Opera. It's unsigned (SmartScreen → More info → Run anyway) and bundles the hidusbf USB driver, so antivirus or game anti-cheats (Vanguard, EAC, BattlEye) may object — don't enable it while running a competitive title you care about. Everything is reversible.

AuraLink app icon
● LIVE · FREE · WINDOWS · NEEDS STEELSERIES SONAR
AuraLink
A touchscreen audio controller for the Corsair Xeneon Edge — hands-on SteelSeries Sonar control, right on the edge display.
AuraLink running on the Xeneon Edge — four Sonar channel sliders (Mic, Chat, Media, Game), mute buttons, and live level meters

Volume sliders, mute buttons, EQ presets, and spatial audio for your four Sonar channels — Game / Chat / Mic / Media — all from your Xeneon Edge (2560×720). It auto-detects the display and opens fullscreen on it. Built in Python; runs as a standalone app, no browser involved.

WHAT IT DOES
4 channel sliders (Game / Chat / Mic / Media) + live audio-level bars
EQ preset browser + spatial-audio toggle, per channel
Session display — see what's playing on each channel
▸ Per-channel colors, custom background, 12 fonts, drag-to-reorder · settings persist
Requires: Windows 10/11, SteelSeries GG with Sonar running, and a Corsair Xeneon Edge (2560×720). Without Sonar there's nothing for it to control.
⬇ DOWNLOAD · ZIP (96 MB)
Extract the zip and run AuraLinkv5.exe — it opens on your Xeneon Edge automatically. It's unsigned, so Windows SmartScreen may warn → More info → Run anyway.

Camera Filter Studio
Design a cinematic webcam look in your browser — then export it as an OBS shader filter.
Camera Filter Studio — the browser tool: a filter stack (Pro-Mist, Vibrance) with live sliders on the left, and an A/B split-screen preview on the right

Stack up filters — Pro-Mist diffusion, film grain, halation, color grade, split-tone, vignette and more — tune every slider against your live webcam or a test pattern, and A/B compare as you go. When it looks right, export and drop the shader straight into OBS. What you see in the browser is exactly what renders on stream.

WHAT'S INSIDE
14 filters — Pro-Mist, grain, halation, clarity, sharpen, vibrance, grade, split-tone, white balance, LUT, skin-smooth, vignette & letterbox
Live preview — your webcam or a built-in test pattern; single-pass, WYSIWYG
A/B compare — before / after, or two full looks side by side with a draggable divider
Export — one combined .shader, or each filter separately, for the free OBS Shader Filter plugin
How it works: build your look → Export look (combined) → load the .shader in OBS via the free OBS Shader Filter plugin. A setup guide is linked inside.
🎬 LAUNCH THE STUDIO →
Free and runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded. Using your webcam asks for camera permission; the exported filters run in OBS with no camera access. Shaders load via the free OBS Shader Filter plugin.
