InstantClone 0.1.19: A live‑updating dashboard, Spanish and a clearer first run
Released
Hi, s1moscs here!
This release goes after the small things that got in your way: pressing F5 to see a change, setup letting you get lost, an editor that was hard to find your way around, and a dashboard working harder than it needed to while you're live. Oh, and InstantClone now speaks Spanish!
| What you get | |
|---|---|
| 🔄 Live pages | The dashboard and dock update themselves, no F5 |
| 🌍 Spanish | The dashboard, dock and sign-in page, one click away |
| 🧭 First run | A short welcome, and setup that waits until your app is connected |
| 🧩 Integrations | A two-column editor, searchable values and a catalog with search |
| ⚡ Performance | About a tenth of the dashboard's main-thread time while live |
🔄 No more F5
Every open page now catches up by itself.
- Changes travel: edit something in another window, in the dock or through the API and the rest follow.
- Your apps are noticed: open or close OBS or Streamlabs and the page knows within about 4 seconds.
- Overlay files too: add or delete one in the folder by hand and it shows up without reloading.
🌍 InstantClone en español
The dashboard, the OBS dock, the sign-in page and the app's messages are now in English and Spanish. Pick one on first launch or in System → General, and changing it keeps you on the tab you were on.
- Barely bigger: the app went from 3.55 to 3.70 MB, Spanish included.
- Your names are yours: anything you typed stays exactly as you typed it.
- See a wrong translation? Please tell me, even if it's a single word.
Note
The Logs tab, Windows' own dialogs and the tray stay in English, and so do default alert texts until you edit them.
🧭 A clearer first run
- A short welcome asks for your language and three quick choices before setup starts.
- Next waits for your streaming app. Setup holds until OBS or Streamlabs is connected. The progress bar goes back freely, and forward only over steps you've finished.
- No OBS or Streamlabs yet? Setup says what to do next.
- Opened InstantClone twice? It offers the copy already running first. Starting a second one takes a second yes.
🧩 Integrations and overlays
- Values where you need them: suggestions appear under the field you're editing, with a searchable menu for the rest (or just type
{). Same in the simple editor and the step builder. - A catalog with search, an icon menu and uniform tiles with full descriptions.
- A two-column simple editor: preview on the left, settings on the right, and one Before it can run box that tells you what's missing.
- Twin cards tell themselves apart, and warnings sit under the card's name.
- The overlay preview zooms in on what the overlay actually draws.
- Profiles are edited in place, without leaving the list.
⚡ A much lighter dashboard
With a stream live, the dashboard went from 208 to 25 ms of main-thread time per second on my test. The Stats tab was animating its numbers every frame even while hidden, and the pulsing dots cost more than they should. Both fixed.
🛠 Smaller things and fixes
- One set of words across the app: sending and destinations, Test destination, your streaming app. The main button shows one word per action: Arm, Activate, Cut, Re-arm, Adjust, Cancel.
- More room to breathe across setup and the main tabs.
- Live cuts only move forward, so a cut can't replay a moment.
- The upload warning takes your keyframe interval into account, and long keyframe intervals get a note about what they do to the delay.
- The Enhanced Broadcasting warning only shows for OBS.
- The memory reading now matches Task Manager's memory column.
- A stream key typed during setup no longer stays behind in the browser.
Tip
On OBS 33? I streamed through OBS 33.0.1 with a single track, with Enhanced Broadcasting, and with the VOD script attached. Nothing to change on your side.
The full list is in the changelog.
⬆️ Updating
Same as always: the update prompt picks it up, and your settings, destinations, integrations and overlays come along. Nothing to redo.
❤️ Thanks
A lot of this release started with someone telling me "this part is confusing". Those messages are the most useful thing I get, so to every streamer and esports player who runs InstantClone, reports a bug or asks for something: thank you. Keep them coming on GitHub or Discussions.
