Denso - An Instapaper for Video

So I came across this really cool new service that works like Instapaper for video, and thought I'd share it with HN. Just got my invite today and I've been LOVING it so far. It lets me discover videos, bookmark them and watch offline on my iPad or iPhone. (My hour long subway rides without internet aren't painful anymore. Phew)

In plain words

Denso is a video bookmarking service for iOS that functions similarly to Instapaper but for video content. Users can discover, bookmark, and save videos to watch later offline on iPad or iPhone.

  • Dull – Instagram Without Reels, YouTube Without Shorts (iOS)Apr 2026 · getdull.app · ▲153

    I kept deleting and redownloading Instagram because I couldn't stop watching Reels but needed the app for DMs. Tried screen time limits, just overrode them. So I built this. Dull loads Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, and X and filters out short-form content with a mix of CSS and JS injection. MutationObserver handles anything that lazy-loads after the page renders, which is most of the annoying stuff since these platforms love to load content dynamically. The ongoing work is maintaining the filters. Platforms change their DOM all the time, Instagram obfuscates class names, YouTube restructures…

    EraseVideo, a macOS application designed for AI video creators who want a simple, privacy-first solution: Drag in a video → automatically detect & remove the watermark → export a clean version — all processed locally on your Mac, no upload, no signup required. Background & problem As AI-video tools (e.g., Sora) became more commonplace, creators found themselves hindered by persistent watermarks: forced to upload to slow, cloud-based removers, worry about privacy, receive degraded output. We asked: “Why can’t this just happen on the Mac, offline, seamlessly?” So we built it. What sets it…
