Explore, a new Streamers page, and downloads that don't block you

19 days ago

Our biggest update yet is live. Here's everything that's new.

Explore — every creator on StreamArchive

Browse recordings from every creator we cover, not just the ones you follow. Filter by platform, search by name, narrow by date — and click any creator to see only their recordings before you decide to follow them.

A new Streamers page

The people you follow, rebuilt from scratch. Favourites are marked, every platform has its own filter, and a creator's recordings now open inside their row instead of throwing you onto another page. Creators with nothing recorded yet no longer pretend to open.

Downloads that don't hold you hostage

Preparing a long recording takes time, especially the first time, when all the parts are stitched together. That used to mean staring at a page you couldn't leave.

Now you start the download and carry on browsing. When it's ready, it downloads. Choose a single full video, or a ZIP with every part kept separate.

Faster clips

In the video editor, clips are now produced by your own browser instead of being sent away to wait in a queue. Short trims come back in seconds.

Your Recordings, rebuilt

Search by creator name. Set a date range once and have it apply everywhere. Every other filter now sits behind a single button, with a count of what's active and one click to clear them all.

Recordings, Favorites and Watch Later are tabs now, not three different places to remember.

Pick your own layout

Choose the card size and shape that suits you — from two large cards per row up to six compact ones, portrait or wide. We remember it next time.

A dashboard that tells you something

Every platform we support, each showing your recording count. Your feed grouped by platform, so a quiet platform isn't buried under a busy one. Every card names the creator, and clicking it jumps to their recordings.

Already-watched recordings are marked, so what's new stands out.

A library that's actually yours

Behind all of it is the biggest change: StreamArchive now keeps a library per person.

Before, following a creator showed you everything ever recorded of them, including sessions from long before you'd heard of them — and anything you removed came back. Now your collection starts the moment you follow someone and grows from there. What you keep is what you chose. What you remove stays removed.

Nothing was lost

Every follow and every recording you could see before, you can still see. We checked that against the real data before the change and again afterwards: a sample of 200 accounts came through with everything intact.

Thank you

To everyone on Premium: this work exists because of you. Recording around the clock, storing the footage and serving it back costs real money every single day, and subscriptions are what pay for it. You're not buying a feature list — you're the reason there's anything here to improve.

Several things in this release came straight from people telling us what was wrong: downloads that locked up the page, filters scattered across the screen, cards too small to see. Keep them coming.

More soon.

🚀 New on Stream Archive

5 months ago

A lot has shipped in the last few weeks. Here's what you can do today that you couldn't before — and a few quality-of-life upgrades worth knowing about.

🆕 Two new platforms: LiveMe & Buzzcast

You can now archive streams from LiveMe and Buzzcast alongside the existing TikTok, Twitch, YouTube, Kick, AfreecaTV, Pandalive, Bigo and Tango lineup. That's 10 platforms in one place, and adding a creator from any of them takes one click — paste the profile URL, we figure out the platform automatically.

🔔 Live notifications, finally

Enable the new Web Push notifications and you'll get pinged the moment a creator you follow goes live. The check happens server-side every minute or so, so it works even if Stream Archive isn't open. Browser tab closed, phone locked — doesn't matter, the notification still lands.

🎨 New homepage animation

The platform row on the homepage got a complete redesign — a recording-deck style strip with a pulse wave that cascades through every supported platform, each tile clickable straight through to that platform's recordings page. Hover a tile to see it light up in its brand color.

📅 Smarter date filters

Filters now use a proper date picker — pick a start date alone or a start + end range. No more dropdown of preset ranges that never quite matches what you want.

🛡️ DMCA visibility & blocked-creator handling

When a creator submits a DMCA request, their content is removed and the profile shows a clear "Content Removed" badge instead of mysteriously vanishing — so you know what happened. Same goes for paused creators: you'll see a notice on the profile explaining recordings are temporarily off.

🧹 Cleaner empty states

"User not found" pages on both public and protected routes are now actually helpful — suggesting next steps instead of a generic 404. Discover and Explore got polished too.

💎 Premium page upgrades

Refreshed pricing, new premium-only feature highlights, and a tighter dashboard layout for premium subscribers. If you've been on the fence, the value-per-month math just got better.

— The Stream Archive team

Welcome to Stream Archive

6 months ago

Stream Archive started out as a side project to keep a couple of TikTok creators' lives from disappearing the second they ended. Eight platforms later, it's become a quiet little tool for saving the live streams you care about — privately, automatically, and across every major platform in one place. 📼

If you're new here, the short version: tell us which creators you want to keep up with on TikTok, Twitch, Kick, YouTube, AfreecaTV, Pandalive, Bigo, or Tango, and we'll capture their lives so you can watch them long after they're gone from the original site. ✨

✅ What you can do today

  • ❤️ Follow your favorite creators and have their lives saved automatically — no clicking, no scheduling, no worrying about whether you'll catch them next time.
  • ⏯️ Pick up where you left off with a watch-later list and watched-history that survive across devices.
  • ✂️ Save the moments that mattered as short clips, trim them down, and keep them in your private library.
  • 📺 All your creators in one feed — no jumping between eight different platforms to see who streamed what today.

🚧 What we're working on

  • 🛠️ More recording reliability — fewer dropped streams, fewer missed lives, smoother handling of long broadcasts.
  • ⚡ Faster playback and smarter caching so big lives load instantly, even if you're scrolling through dozens.
  • 🎬 Smarter clip tools — auto-subtitles in your language, easier sharing, and better trim controls.
  • 🌍 More languages — the UI is English-only today, but the streams are watched globally.

🔒 A note on privacy & creators

Stream Archive only captures public broadcasts that creators chose to put online, and only at the request of a registered user who follows them. We respect DMCA takedowns and creator ownership verification — creators can always claim, edit, or remove their own page.

📬 Stay in the loop

This page is where we'll post product updates, new platform support, infrastructure notes, and the occasional behind-the-scenes story about how the recording pipeline actually stays alive.

Thanks for being here early. 🎥
