Cassette is live! a fun way to watch your home videos shot on iPhone. Is this a launch video? I’m not sure, but it is a video.

If you don’t like watching things, I also wrote it down.

Cassette

A new way to watch your videos, like the old way.

I’d love for you to check it out. This app certainly isn’t the next big thing, it’s just a little thing, made with love.
@JustMeDevin congratulations, this is incredible. My first minute with the app just flew by, transporting me all over my memories. What a great idea and execution!
@JustMeDevin This is great, do you know what would make it even better? The ability to toggle a fake VHS effect to watch the video through 😁. Maybe as part of the unlock? That’s an incentive to purchase right there.
@apt that’s something I’d like to tackle in an update, was slightly out of my skillset so thought I’d push from the initial release
@JustMeDevin Not sure if this might be a good starting point, there are a number of appropriate effects that could be generated. https://github.com/9000000/obs-retro-effects?tab=readme-ov-file#analog-glitch

@apt it sure if that will be directly compatible, but probably a few things I can learn from it, thanks!
@JustMeDevin Congratulations, this is such a great idea and implementation!
@JustMeDevin what a lovely video! Congrats on the launch! 🎉
@JustMeDevin I'll check out the app but meanwhile I wanted to say that I love this video.

@JustMeDevin Loving this app! I can see myself using this non-stop on a flight since I have a bagillion TikToks saved over the years.

Please consider adding an “On This Day” feature! It’d be a compelling reason to open the app every day if we could see all videos recorded on this day in history.

@JustMeDevin Great idea and app! Took me a while to realize the eject buttons (two of them) take you back to the home “tape” screen.
@stevenodb @JustMeDevin beautiful idea and such a nice app! Bringing back memories 80s style 🤣
@stevenodb thanks! Yeah the double eject is probably a little odd.
@JustMeDevin This *needs* to be a tvOS app.
@kickingvegas you an AirPlay to your AppleTV 😊
@kickingvegas @JustMeDevin Yes, but however this is possible, the size of the screens should not exceed 20 real-world inches. If you want to see it bigger, you need to move closer.
@JustMeDevin wow, such a cool App! That was the fastest I’ve ever purchased lifetime access.
@rblch thank you! Appreciate the support 😊
@JustMeDevin It might be less dramatic, but you should make a version of the promo with VCR background sound.
@JustMeDevin nice app. But it appears to be stuck in portrait mode all the time?
@billrey currently it’s portrait only, will hopefully tweak that in an update.
@JustMeDevin ok, nice. For me it’s the main thing holding me back from wanting to use it
@JustMeDevin congrats on the launch Devin!
@rooster thank you Russ! ☺️
@JustMeDevin 6 videos in and I’ve already rediscovered some gems. Thank you for making this.
@JustMeDevin This is great, but as soon as you get popular you should hide it behind another one because people will be like "I did what your video said to do and there are no videos in the app" 😆
@Mutesplash ha! “Terrible tutorial”
@JustMeDevin this is lovely! I have so many feature requests already! I’d love minimum/maximum video length filters, or a way to say “just choose a random 20 seconds from videos that are longer”.
It’s great that you can swipe away a video if you’re done with it.
Fantastic work!
@json thanks! This is helpful feedback, I had been thinking about adding some options like this. Hard to know what everyone’s libraries are going to be like.
@JustMeDevin This is cool, Devin. Congrats. Really fun to use.
@JustMeDevin this is great! Please can you make a version for the Apple TV so my wife and I can watch together
@JustMeDevin Amazing app, well done! On first load, I hit “Take me somewhere” and the very first video was an accidental pocket video from 3 years ago… completely black with just the sound of me urinating, flushing the toilet, washing hands, then apparently wandering around the house for 8 minutes getting things ready for a family camping trip. Perfect. I couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful and ridiculous start.
@JustMeDevin This will do magic on AppleTV. Add VCR and cassette sound effects, and an optional VHS filter and it will be perfect.
