Hey PH! 👋
I built MediaOptim after getting frustrated with online tools that upload your files to compress them. A 4GB video file shouldn't need to leave your Mac just to get smaller.
The app uses native Apple frameworks (AVFoundation, ImageIO) so compression is fast and the files stay local.
Everything runs locally using native Apple frameworks (AVFoundation, ImageIO) — no servers, no accounts, no waiting on uploads.
You drag in a folder, set your quality target, and it batch-processes everything. That's it.
Would love to hear what formats or features you'd want next!
