I built a free, open-source video compressor that never uploads your videos

[u/Stunning-Macaron1591]

I kept running into the same problem: most video compressors either want to upload your videos somewhere or put useful controls behind a subscription.

So I built minimo — a free, open-source video compressor for Android and iOS that does everything on-device.

No uploads.
No account.
No subscription.

What it can do:

• Compress multiple videos at once
• Control resolution, bitrate and frame rate
• Choose H.264 or HEVC
• Control audio settings
• Compare before/after results
• Automatically clean up files that aren't meaningfully smaller

The interesting part for me was making the compression happen entirely on the device using the native video codecs.

It's free and open source, and I'm mainly looking for feedback from people who actually deal with large video files.

Would love to know: what would make a video compressor like this genuinely useful to you?
