I build tools that solve real workflow problems. Currently working on CineCinch, a Windows app for analyzing and compressing large video libraries.

Who else has a video library that's gotten out of control?

Curious how others manage storage for large video collections: Plex libraries, screen recording archives, camera footage. What's your current workflow for keeping file sizes under control? That's the problem I built CineCinch to solve.

CineCinch - Find bloated videos by MB/sec and compress them with H.265

Sorting videos by file size misses the real space hogs. A 12-minute screen recording at 3GB is far more wasteful than a 2-hour movie at 8GB — but size sorting puts the movie first. CineCinch calculates MB/sec for every file in your library and ranks them by inefficiency. Bloated files rise to the top. You select them, pick an H.265 preset, and batch-compress in one queue — locally, no uploads, no accounts. Built for Plex, Jellyfin, and Kodi libraries. Free 7-day trial on Windows.
