Kleos — free media tracking for YouTube and Twitch communities

Stop chasing links across twenty tabs.

If you manage even a dozen creators, you know the drill: open YouTube Studio, open TwitchTracker, open a spreadsheet, paste numbers, forget whose turn it is to post. Kleos pulls public metadata into a local database and gives you one place to see who is active, what is verified, and how the whole community is trending.

What it does

Everything in one panel.

No cloud account. No monthly fee. Just a clean dashboard that works after the first fetch.

YouTube + Twitch

Add creators by channel link. Kleos fetches uploads, streams, stats, and thumbnails from both platforms and keeps them in a local SQLite database.

Offline-first

Once data is fetched, the whole dashboard works without internet. Your community history lives on your machine, not someone else's server.

AI or keyword verify

Mark content as "In Community" manually, with keyword matching, or let Claude or Gemini decide against your community description. You pick the method.

Leaderboards and charts

See view trajectories, monthly upload activity, and ranked reports. Filter by role, content type, date range, and verified status.

Shareable HTML exports

Generate a self-contained dashboard page for your whole community or a single creator. Send it to stakeholders, post it in Discord, or host it anywhere.

Profiles and roles

Keep separate communities isolated. Assign colored roles, custom tags, notes, and join dates so the dashboard matches how you actually organize people.

Questions

FAQ

Is Kleos really free?

Yes. Kleos is MIT licensed and free to use, modify, or redistribute. You only pay for your own API usage if you hit YouTube or Twitch rate limits at scale, which most small communities never do.

Do I need API keys?

You need a YouTube Data API v3 key and Twitch Client ID/Secret to fetch data. AI verification is optional and needs an Anthropic or Gemini key only if you use that feature. Keyword verification needs no API at all.

Does Kleos work on Mac or Linux?

The installer is Windows only, but the source runs on any platform that supports Python 3.12+ and PyQt6. macOS and Linux users can run it from source today.

Where is my data stored?

Locally on your machine in an SQLite file under your user data directory. No account, no cloud sync, no telemetry. Your creator data stays yours.

Who built Kleos?

Kleos was built by Thoria, a server administrator and media manager who got tired of tracking creators in spreadsheets. It is maintained on GitHub.
