Thank you so much for the review!

Fantastic app!

Love the app, love taking my saved videos outside of each website's privacy-violating ecosystem. Having trouble using the shortcuts (video save without any metadata or thumbnail), but the apps UI is so uncluttered and simple that it loads lightning fast – adding a video with the main window is a breeze.

One feature request: I rarely add additonal info when adding a video for the first time, so I wish I could hold the ALT key when clicking the button so it would add my link instantly without bringing up a dialog.

Fantastic app!

Freemium app that you pay for otherwise great

Really nice looking app. Works well but wow is it plastered with premium ads all over it to try and get you to upgrade.

This is a paid for app not a free app. I’m ok with developers trying to upsell to increase revenue that’s fine, but give me the option to hide all the huge premium ad box otherwise this should just be a free app. It feels like a freemium app but it costs and costs again.

P.S love the heavy shortcuts integration wish more apps did this.
