Reelsnag on Self-Hosted VPS
Host it on your own $5 VPS — your data, your domain, your rules, with no per-seat pricing ever.
Setup on Self-Hosted VPS
Download the installer
Download the latest Reelsnag installer from the GitHub Releases page (https://github.com/bensblueprints/reelsnag-mvp/releases) — or build it yourself from the MIT source.
Install
Run the installer — one click, no terminal, no account to create.
Run it locally
Reelsnag runs 100% on your machine — no account, no telemetry, and it keeps working with the Wi-Fi off.
What works offline: everything. Reelsnag is a desktop app — once it's installed, no feature needs a connection to us.
Reelsnag on Self-Hosted VPS — honest answers
Is it really free on GitHub?
Yes — the full source is MIT at github.com/bensblueprints/reelsnag-mvp and always will be. $24 buys the packaged Windows installer and lifetime updates instead of running npm start yourself.
Is this legal to use?
Reelsnag is built for personal use: backing up your own uploads, content you have rights to, Creative Commons / public-domain media, and material a platform's terms permit you to download. Respect each platform's Terms of Service and copyright law — it is not a tool for redistributing or pirating other people's content, and that's on you to avoid.
