Show HN: I made a native macOS Twitch client
apps.apple.com
Main features:
- Incredibly lightweight and efficient steam playback using Apple's native video player
- Third party emote support (7TV, BTTV, etc)
- Support for Twitch's paid services, such as stream subscriptions and Twitch Turbo.
- Seamless chatting experience. Kulve's chat UI is handled entirely in-house and designed to be as fluid and ergonomic as possible, utilizing the raw power of M series CPUs to power chats of 100k+ concurrent users.
- Battery life. On Kulve, the last thing you will be concerned about is having to find a charger to keep watching your favorite stream. Whether you're focused on the stream or have Kulve running in the background while you're doing other work, Kulve will have 0 impact on your workflow.
When Kulve was still in beta, Sourav Dev Sahu took an early look and had great things to say about it. They also left us with some closing thoughts on areas to improve—and we listened! Since then, we’ve launched a complete and total UI redesign with a more focused and polished design language. If you tried Kulve early on, now is a fantastic time to check it out again.

Another early adopter, the talented Andrew Salfinger from Made by Campfire (www.madebycampfire.com), not only liked the app so much to give us a review, but also went the extra mile to create the official Kulve logo/app icon that you see today.
These passionate early adopters are what kept the possibility of App Store launch in scope and we are incredibly thankful for their support over the course of development, all the way from concept to reality.
