A month later: Aye now adds a save button to Telegram Web on Mac
I’m one of the developers of Aye. I posted the first Mac version here a little over 30 days ago. Rather than repeat the launch post, I wanted to come back with the update people actually kept asking for.
PROBLEM
A video can be playing in Telegram Web while saving that exact item is still awkward. Copying the page URL does not identify the video, and moving to another app breaks the flow if the rest of the work is already in the browser.
Aye now adds a Save Current Media control to the video that is open in Telegram Web. After clicking it, the file appears in Aye’s Downloads panel. I wait for the status to change from Downloading to Completed, then use Show in folder to verify the file.
This works one visible item at a time. It is not a channel archiver or bulk scraper.
COMPARISON
Safari and Chrome are better-known general browsers, but they do not add this Aye-specific media control or its completion check to the Telegram page. Telegram Desktop should still be the first option when its own save action already does what you need.
Compared with installing a generic media-downloader extension such as Video DownloadHelper, Aye’s control is built into the browser and is designed around the media currently open in the Telegram tab. There is no separate extension to install. The trade-off is that Aye does not claim to detect every media type or every future Telegram Web layout.
PRICING
Aye is currently free on the Mac App Store:
https://apps.apple.com/app/aye-browser/id6760281977
The boundary matters: Aye only handles media the signed-in account can already view and that the user has the right to save. It does not bypass login, invitations, DRM, paywalls, Telegram permissions, or other access controls. Saving a local copy also does not grant redistribution rights.
For people who use Telegram Web on a Mac: is the more annoying part finding the right file, tracking a large download, or verifying where it was saved?

Making the best macOS screen recorder and video editor: ScreenKite 1.16
https://preview.redd.it/3317vuv2l7kh1.png?width=2932&format=png&auto=webp&s=0d8d406cbcce0847007c7d15ea436731c2322c40
It has been one year since we started ScreenKite and I am so proud of it.
ScreenKite wants to become the fastest way for a builder to turn what they just built into something people understand.
Hello everybody. I am a builder also a youtuber. Making videos, no matter if it's a product demo or tutorials or sales videos, is never easy.
Many folks for like, after a recording, a failed export (usually happens with Screen Studio), a share link that didn't work. About one year ago, I wanted to build something better because I'm pretty tired of like exporting some rough cuts from Screen Studio and doing post-production in CapCut or Final Cut, but I found like a huge jump between Auto Zooms.
Today I want to show 1.16, for product demos, sales videos, tutorials. And also hear your feedback and see what I can do to make the app better and better. ScreenKite want to be the best.
https://www.screenkite.com/
# Core features
1. AI agent editing and AI agent recording. Hand the boring cuts to an agent. Recording and editing are at CapCut's level of "you can actually finish the video in here," except you bring your own AI: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Antigravity, Grok Build. Grok Build can generate video and images. Codex can generate images too. Then the agent drops that into the timeline. Local. Not Descript credits. Not CapCut cloud where they might train AI models on your footage. And the most important part, no subscription for your own AI. You already have your own AI, I'm sure.
For example, in the video below I showed you the demo. You can do something like ask agents, whether using your external AI agents or our internal agent with your own AI subscription, to do the editing stuff such as transcription cards just like CapCut
2. The HyperFrames/Remotion path that is actually usable. HyperFrames is slow. You will not edit a whole video in it. You shouldn't. Cut a short motion piece, drop it in as B-roll, let ScreenKite drive the rest. That split is worth it. We have the best HyperFrames support for this workflow.
https://preview.redd.it/gwcgc5r9l7kh1.png?width=2932&format=png&auto=webp&s=7eb14f06f3558b0d3574dfa13d115c5148411931
3. One recording, YouTube and Reels. Don't edit twice. Paste this into your AI agent:
Don't recut this video. Make a YouTube version and a TikTok/Reels version from the same edit using advanced layout, left/right for youtube and bottom/down for TikTok.
YouTube: my product screen in the middle, my face as a small camera in the bottom-right.
TikTok / Instagram Reels: stacked — screen on top, camera below.
Export both. Same timeline.
After asking AI doing the layout stuff, you can see it is adjusted for both Youtube and Shorts\/TikTok
4. Performance is the first principle. Record and export. Try the other apps. Users almost never write in to say we export slower than Screen Studio or Loom. We are many times faster, and Screen Studio can keep optimizing Electron and still not catch a native Mac app. That was the point of building this.
https://youtu.be/mDKs0StnwBM (benchmark: ScreenKite's exporting is 3x faster than Screen Studio)
Share the file from Google Drive, OneDrive, or your own S3. Screenshot editor is in the same app (CleanShot-like). You usually do not need a second editor.
5. Unlimited possibilities. This one I think is why I'm confident and want to work with everybody to improve. For example, you can use Fish Audio or ElevenLabs to generate multiple voiceovers for your product demos to do localization. And if you want, you can display or embed transcriptions like ICRT or whatever with our AI agents in two languages.
This is very useful.

# Problem
I am a builder and a YouTuber. Making the video takes longer than
shipping the thing. I want AI to help, and I want to use the agents I already pay for. Most recorders don't let you. Screen Studio and Loom are a tax for a utility. I also don't like subscriptions.
# Comparison
Tella, Loom, and Screen Studio do not have AI like this. We actually went and studied the AI in real video editors, not just recorders. In ScreenKite you can go end to end: record, cut, layout, captions, export a product launch, a tutorial, or a sales demo. You are not dumping a file out of Screen Studio and finishing it in another app.
ScreenKite is local. Plug in the harness you already use. Transcription cuts in the app if you'd rather not touch a terminal.
Tella, Loom, Screen Studio, Charm are Electron. Some of them also edit in the cloud. Our standing goal: about 3x faster than the competition, and 3 to 10x more features. That is the bar we hold ourselves to, so the money you spend is worth it.
The app is dense. Follow us on social and YouTube if you want to find the rest. There is more in here than a recorder with a trim bar.

# FAQs
Q: How do I edit a ScreenKite video with AI?
A: You need a coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Antigravity, Grok Build). Paste our AI Agent setup notes into the tool and ask it to edit, or to record. Most edit flows start from the transcription. Samples: https://github.com/ScreenKite/awesome-ai-video-editing
Q: I already use HyperFrames / Remotion / use-videos with Claude Code. Why ScreenKite?
A: HyperFrames is great and also slow. Don't render the whole video in it. Use ScreenKite as the driver, cut a short HyperFrames clip, drop it in as B-roll. Past about a minute, that split saves both edit time and export time.
Q: Why named ScreenKite?
Kite is like this (image below : ) I think it is similar to your mouse where you can point to something to attract the audience's attention, making your video to standard out.

Best Alternative to Disk Inventory X?
Hi all, I was going to recommend Disk Inventory X to a friend but realized it's not supported on apple silicon. So I wanted to ask the community the question: What is the thing most like it still maintained today? Searching didn't quite get the things I wanted so I was wondering what else is out there.

Watchflows v1.46.0 just released! 🎉
https://youtu.be/ZijVXbPeyCs?si=LHowFcgiKeB1PXj9
Watchflows, https://watchflows.app is the missing visual automation builder for macOS. I'm excited to announce v1.46.0, which lands some cool UX around how you manage your agent and ai nodes in Watchflows.
Watchflows allows you to create n8n like flows, using triggers every mac offers, as well as external triggers via Watchflows Relay and you can use our hosted AI if you don't want to set AI up on your own.
But for those itching to know:
* No accounts Required
* Subscription or One Time purchase options
* Subscriptions include hosted AI usage (using a freshly minted AI key for openrouter, no middle men, we publish the endpoints we hit with each AI provider we support. Subscriptions also include Watchflows Relay, which allows you to trigger flows on your machine from external services like Github or Stripe.
* You can absolutely use the app without any AI at all. Flows can be built fully manually and exclude AI nodes. This keeps the app 100% local.
* No external telemetry that isn't opt in.
* Bring your own LLM via Ollama and inference in your flows is free 😎
Subscriptions start at just $8 / $12 a month, and one time purchase is $49.
To celebrate the launch I created the coupon code below, first 15 checkouts can use this during purchase to get $15 off.
