⭐ Star this repo if MemeBlip is useful

MemeBlip is a local-first Windows tray soundboard for games, calls, and meetings. It lets you import clips, search for new meme sounds through a MyInstants-powered supplier page, organize clips into soundboards, trigger them with hotkeys, and route clip audio plus optional voice passthrough into apps through VB-CABLE.

Install MemeBlip from the landing page only: https://memeblip.dawnlightlabs.com/

Architecture

MyInstants API
    -> React dashboard supplier page
    -> local companion API
    -> Rust downloader/importer
    -> local sound storage
    -> soundboards + hotkeys

Physical mic -> MemeBlip mic passthrough -> CABLE Input
MemeBlip clips -> CABLE Input
CABLE Output -> game/call microphone
Monitor preview -> headphones/speakers

The project has four parts:

• Web dashboard: React/Vite UI for sounds, boards, hotkeys, routing, settings, and the MyInstants supplier page.
• Native companion: Rust app that owns playback, local API, tray integration, hotkeys, audio devices, remote imports, and persistent storage.
• Sound supplier: MyInstants search/trending/recent/best integration for finding and importing new sounds.
• Landing page: Minimal public site under site/, deployable on Vercel.

Current scope

Reliable MVP flow:

Physical mic -> MemeBlip mic passthrough -> CABLE Input
MemeBlip clips -> CABLE Input
CABLE Output -> game/call microphone
Monitor output -> headphones/speakers

System-wide audio routing is intentionally not part of the product path right now because plain VB-CABLE does not monitor cleanly to headphones while also sending to the call.

Features

• Import local audio clips.
• Search MyInstants from inside MemeBlip.
• Preview MyInstants sounds before importing.
• Import remote MyInstants MP3 sounds into local MemeBlip storage.
• Preview library sounds locally through normal headphones/speakers.
• Rename clips and assign them to boards.
• Create boards automatically from clip metadata.
• Activate one soundboard so only that board owns hotkeys.
• Assign hotkeys with presets or press-to-record controls.
• Route clips to CABLE Input for apps that use CABLE Output as microphone.
• Optional local monitor playback to your headphones/speakers.
• Optional physical mic passthrough into the same virtual route, so your voice and clips share one mic path.
• First-run VB-CABLE setup gate with check/retry actions.
• Local companion API protected by a local token header.
• GitHub Release update check/download support.
• Windows MSI packaging scripts.
• Public single-page landing site with a download button for the Windows setup.

MyInstants supplier

The Sounds → Get more page uses the community MyInstants API wrapper by abdipr/myinstants-api.

Frontend client:

app/src/services/myInstantsClient.js

Supported supplier calls:

GET https://myinstants-api.vercel.app/search?q=<query>
GET https://myinstants-api.vercel.app/trending?q=us
GET https://myinstants-api.vercel.app/recent
GET https://myinstants-api.vercel.app/best?q=us

Import flow:

User searches/previews sound
-> dashboard sends title + MyInstants MP3 URL to local companion
-> companion validates MyInstants media URL
-> companion downloads MP3
-> companion stores the file locally
-> clip appears in the active MemeBlip board

Remote imports are not streamed directly into the app during hotkey playback. They are downloaded once and then treated like normal local clips.

Requirements

• Windows for the current production path.
• Node.js 22 or newer.
• Rust stable.
• VB-CABLE installed for virtual microphone routing.
• Internet connection only when using the MyInstants supplier or update checks.
