And then the board plays.
Not a wall of dead thumbnails. Sweep the cursor and each clip plays where it sits. Or set 4, 8 or 16 running at once. Open one and it fills the screen.

Everything you have saved lives on your machine. Pulling a new clip in needs the internet. After that it plays with the wifi off. It keeps its own snapshots as you work, and one button saves a backup file you can restore any time.

Questions.
before you buy
ReelPile is a macOS application for Apple Silicon that keeps video
references on a board that plays. Paste a link and the clip lands on the canvas,
stays where you put it, and plays from your own disk. ReelPile needs no account and
no cloud, works offline once a clip is in, and costs $30 once with lifetime updates.
Q1
Is it a subscription?
No. $30 once, and lifetime updates. There is no renewal date and nothing to cancel.
Q2
Do I need an account?
No ReelPile account and no cloud, and no account anywhere else either — not even Instagram, which used to be the one exception and is not one any more. You enter a licence key once and that is the last thing ReelPile asks of you. Pulling a new clip in needs the internet, of course, but once it is on your disk it plays without a connection.
Q3
Do I have to sign in to Instagram?
No. ReelPile cannot sign in to Instagram — there is no login window and no account of any kind. It fetches a reel the way a visitor does. An earlier version did offer a sign-in, and it was the wrong trade: it ran under your credentials, so anything Instagram does about automated access landed on you rather than on us. Before removing it we measured fourteen real reels without it — all fourteen arrived, none were throttled, and thirteen came down at full 1080×1920. TikTok, Vimeo and files off your disk ask for nothing either.
Q4
What can I paste in?
Instagram, TikTok, Vimeo and most other video links, plus files off your disk, photos and multi-image posts included.
Q5
Which Macs?
macOS on Apple Silicon. A real app you install, signed and notarized by Apple. Not a website in a tab.
Q6
What leaves my machine?
Only a board you publish yourself, and that sends cover images and card details, never your video files.
Q7
What about YouTube?
A YouTube link keeps its place on the board and plays in YouTube's own player when you open it. ReelPile does not save YouTube video to your disk, so those cards need a connection and will not play offline.
One price. Lifetime updates. No subscription, ever.
