VideoTag

Put a video on a sticker.

  1. Record a short video on a phone.
  2. Print a QR label for it, on a label printer or a sheet of stickers.
  3. Scan the label with any phone camera to watch. Nothing to install.

The story behind a grandparent's things, while someone still remembers it. How to reset the router. What is in each moving box, care instructions on a plant, a message inside a card.

Get VideoTag

VideoTag is in testing, on its way to the App Store and Google Play.

Try the iPhone beta

Through TestFlight, Apple’s app for testing. It installs first, then VideoTag.

On Android: install the test build, until VideoTag is on Google Play. Stuck? Email relaxed.possums_0z@icloud.com.

See it working

A shelf of old objects: a folding Kodak camera, a vinegar jar, a brooch, each with a small printed QR label tied to it

Real labels, on a shelf at a family cabin. Scan one with a phone camera, or watch what they play:

These were made by hand, years before the app. I had manually uploaded videos, created QR code labels in a custom spreadsheet. Enough people asked how to do it themselves that I created VideoTag.

Where the videos go

VideoTag has no servers and no accounts. Videos are saved to the Google Drive, YouTube channel or S3 storage the person using the app chooses, and stay there.

  • Google Drive: videos go in a folder named “VideoTag videos”. VideoTag can see only the files it saved itself.
  • YouTube: videos are uploaded as Unlisted, so only people with the link or the label can watch, and collected in a private playlist named “VideoTag”. The app can rename and delete the videos it shows.
  • Google account data is used only to do those things, never for advertising, and is not sold or shared. See the Privacy Policy.
