About PixelUp

PixelUp is a lightweight, 100% offline AI video upscaler for Windows. Say goodbye to subscriptions, upscale your videos locally with CUDA and Vulkan hardware acceleration. 3 Advanced AI Model Matrix: Built-in ESPCN (Fast) for quick renders, FSRCNN (Balanced) for general use, and the heavy-duty LapSRN (High) which supports extreme 2X, 4X, and 8X super-resolution scaling to pull stunning details out of low-res files. Lossless Audio Syncing: Re-encodes using standard FFmpeg pipelines to preserve original audio bitrates perfectly without track desynchronization.

About Trace

A macOS menu-bar app that turns any conversation into a clean markdown transcript, with an optional on-device summary. Runs a local speech model entirely on your Mac, in dozens of languages.

Either copy the markdown from Trace directly or have it place the file anywhere in your filesystem. Trace can also send files directly to Obsidian, Bear, Drafts or Things with a button press.
