I don't have a web version yet, but my app works with just url too, so that you can use it like Instaloader, and you will still get all the data in the video, already summarized and important bits extracted and highlighted. I am not storing the video locally because it seems that storing locally only provides me with the advantage of playing the video offline.

I understand that. My frustration was that when I save a video, I have to scroll through a massive list of videos and have to guess which one is which by looking into thumbnails. Seemed like such a waste, hence I made this. I cant completely give up instagram, and I love some of the content there like the travel and food videos, so I would like to make the most out of my time

Yes. I will fix the name and release the TikTok next week. Thanks for the feedback.

I didn't know about karakeep, but it seems like I am trying to build my own karakeep. Thanks for introducing it to me. I would love to hear your feedback on whether my app can provide some value to your workflow, and how I can improve it. Also, it currently doesn't support TikTok, but I plan to add it next week.

It analyzes the entire video along with the metadata so that the entire context is captured. It even extracts important info like it is a travel itinerary, it will give you a list of places with direct links to Google Maps, or if it is a movie review, it will give a button that will take you to the trailer on YouTube. I am supporting 9 different specific genres and 9 genre-specific UI.

Sounds fun. How did you start it? I mean the initial users?

True. I completely forgot about that part. I absolutely love my windows PC, but I had to buy a mac so I can support cross platform

I love the idea, and thanks for doing this. I would like to create free apps too just for the heck of it but one of the biggest issues I find with creating free app store apps is that, regardless of whether you are charging money or not, you need to keep feeding Apple $100 per year, which is excruciating, especially for countries where the developer population is much higher and the income disparity is high. Since the Play Store only charges 25$ ish and one time, it is much more feasible to do it on the Play Store, hence the availability of such apps is more on Play Store.
