The workflow
What Boltis does differently from Eklipse
Boltis is built around the moment it happens. With one-key clipping, Twitch saves the last 60 seconds server-side, so Boltis does not record your screen while you play.
The clip then opens in the built-in editor. Choose a vertical layout, add automatic captions, and export a 1080 by 1920 video for TikTok, Shorts or Reels. There is no watermark or export limit on the core workflow.
Need a clip from an already-finished stream? Boltis is not the right tool for that job. It needs your own Twitch stream to be live, so a tool that works from a VOD or an uploaded file is the better fit in that specific case.
