Own the archive
Local media, not fragile links.
Import your official data exports and download the videos to disk. Your library survives expired CDN links and disappearing posts.

Your likes.
Your library.
Even offline.
Turn your Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook exports into a private, searchable video library that runs from your own machine—and keeps playing on your phone when the connection disappears.

Platforms remember your likes.
Until they don't.
Like Player turns a disposable list of URLs into a durable library you can search, organize, and actually revisit.
Rediscover
A feed trained only on you.
Browse Recent or Oldest, or use a private For you ranker built from your watch time, loops, creators, and collections.
Leave the VPN off
The same feed, even offline.
A prioritized 2 GB pocket lives on your phone. The PWA switches to IndexedDB automatically when your Mac is unreachable.
How it works
From export ZIP to a feed you own.
Discovery stays export-based. Downloads are read-only. The Mac is the source of truth; your phone keeps only the pocket you choose.

Turn off Tailscale. Keep scrolling.
Install the PWA and save a prioritized slice of your library directly on the phone. When the Mac disappears, the same feed quietly swaps server URLs for local video blobs.
