ReelPile — our own product, shipped.

A macOS app for people who collect video references. Paste a TikTok, Instagram or Vimeo link and it becomes a card on a board that plays right there — instead of a folder of screenshots and forty open tabs. We designed it, built it, signed it, sell it and support it ourselves.

ReelPile on macOS: a board of video reference cards with a link field at the top and boards listed in the sidebar
The product

A reference board that actually plays.

Editors, motion designers and creators save hundreds of clips they can never find again. ReelPile keeps them on one canvas — watchable, sortable, searchable.

01

Paste a link, get a card

Drop in a TikTok, Instagram or Vimeo link. ReelPile pulls the video, the title, the author and the track, and lays it out as a card.

02

It plays on the board

Click a card and it plays in place — no new tab, no bouncing between apps to re-watch the same three seconds.

03

Boards and folders

One board per project, folders inside it. Drag cards around; the layout is yours, not an algorithm's.

04

Search by author or track

Type a sound name or a handle and everything that doesn't match fades out. Finding the clip takes seconds instead of an evening.

What shipping it took

A product isn't done when the demo works.

Getting ReelPile from idea to a paid download meant building everything around the app, too — the parts most prototypes never reach. We do the same for the software we build for clients.

Why it matters for your project

Same team, same standard.

ReelPile is the shortest way to say what we actually do: one small team took a product from a blank file to a signed application that strangers pay for — the design, the engineering, the release pipeline, the site and the support behind it.

That is the standard we bring to client work. Not a prototype handed over with a shrug, but software that ships, updates itself and keeps running after launch.
