## What it is
A tool for downloading Twitch VODs, clips, and chat logs, with the ability to render chat replays with third-party emotes. It offers both a Windows WPF GUI and a cross-platform CLI.

## Use cases
- download twitch vods
- download twitch clips
- download twitch chat as  or text
- render twitch chat replay as video
- update old chat  files
- batch download vods from a streamer

## When to choose
- you need to archive Twitch VODs or clips locally
- you want to re-render chat with BTTV/FFZ/7TV emotes
- you need chat logs in JSON, HTML, or plain text
- you want a GUI on Windows or a scriptable CLI elsewhere

## When to avoid
- you need to download from platforms other than Twitch
- you need live stream recording rather than VOD/clip downloads
- you need a GUI on Linux without third-party wrappers
