Why does getting footage from my phone to my PC feel like it takes longer than actually filming?

Anyone else find the gap between filming on your phone and actually editing on PC a massive time killer? I'm talking transferring 4K files, waiting for them to copy over, then your timeline stuttering because the files are too heavy. By the time I'm ready to actually edit I've already lost motivation. Is this just me or does everyone deal with this? What do you do to speed it up?

I built a tiny Mac app to "Glance" at my screen with AI (Free & Open Source)

Getting tired of taking 50 screenshots a day just to ask Claude to explain code errors, uni work, and of course cheating in tests. So I built a shortcut.

It’s called Glance. How it works:

  1. Hit Cmd+Shift+G.
  2. Drag a box over anything on your screen.
  3. Ask a question.
  4. The AI (Claude) explains it in a floating window that stays on top while you work.

Privacy & Cost: I didn't want to deal with subscriptions or user data, so it's a "Bring Your Own Key" app. You just paste your Anthropic API key, and it runs directly from your Mac (stored in your Keychain). I don't see your data, and it costs $0 from my end.

Important:

  • It’s a beta.
  • Apple Silicon only for now (Intel build coming soon).
  • Since I’m a solo dev and haven't paid Apple $99 for a license yet, you have to Right-Click > Open it the first time.
