Video Squeeze vs HLSMonitor

Video Squeeze makes big videos small - quickly, privately, and entirely on your device. Recording in 4K and 60 fps eats up bandwidth and makes clips too large to send. Video Squeeze shrinks them to share-ready sizes in seconds, with no uploads to any server. PICK A GOAL, NOT SETTINGS Choose a simple preset and the app picks the right resolution, frame rate, and bitrate for you: • Messages - small files that send easily • Social post & Stories/Reels - clean uploads without huge files • Email-friendly - compact files for quick attachments • Bypass limits - shrink clips to fit strict file size restrictions • Keep 4K detail - preserve quality for big screens SEE THE SIZE BEFORE YOU COMMIT Get an estimated file size for each preset before compressing - no surprises. TRIM TO THE MOMENT Scrub through your clip and set the exact start and end. Export only the part you need. EXTRACT AUDIO Save just the soundtrack as MP3 or Ogg. H.264 OR HEVC Use H.264 for maximum compatibility, or HEVC for even smaller files. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything happens on your device. No account, no uploads, no tracking, no watermark. Want full control? Build your own presets with exact resolution, frame rate, and bitrate. Video Squeeze is free. If it saves you time, an optional tip helps keep it maintained.

HLSMonitor plays a live stream the way your viewers watch it — in a real browser-based player — and measures delivery quality while it plays. Open an .m3u8 URL directly, or load any web page with an HLS player in it. HLSMonitor detects the manifests and media segments automatically and starts recording. WHAT IT MEASURES • Segment downloads: every request, with median, p95, and peak download times charted against real-time playback so you can see the player falling behind before viewers do • Failures: segment requests that error or return HTTP 400+ • Download gaps: stretches with no segment downloads for more than twice the target duration • Playback stalls: only confirmed, viewer-visible freezes are counted, with measured durations • Rendition switches: watch ABR move through the quality ladder, with every variant's resolution, codecs, and bitrate listed from the master playlist • Audio loudness: LUFS momentary, short-term, and integrated loudness with true peak, metered from the inline player or from device audio via a screen-broadcast extension (levels only — nothing is recorded or uploaded) SHARE A QUALITY REPORT When the session ends, generate a one-page PDF: monitored duration, segments, throughput, a timeline of quality events, incident counts with plain-language explanations, and a verdict based on what viewers actually experienced. Sessions from the same day can be consolidated into one report. Share it from the standard iOS share sheet. WHO IT'S FOR Broadcast engineers, streaming ops, video developers, and anyone who gets asked "is the stream OK?" and wants an answer with numbers attached — from wherever they happen to be standing. HLSMonitor sends nothing anywhere. All monitoring happens on the device, and the only thing that leaves it is the PDF if you choose to share.
