[Self Promotion] I was tired of videos eating up my icloud storage so i fixed it forever

Took forever but here it is. VidSquash for iOS (totally free for now..hoping to get some appreciation/fb):
auto-discovers large videos in my photo library, batch compresses them including HDR with before/after comparison before i delete originals, reminds me periodically, and is totally offline with no data collection.

It can also optimize videos for sending on discord/whatsapp/others or with custom settings.
It solved my pain points around my iCloud storage and phone running slow issues - hope it solves yours too. Happy to add any new features you see important and useful.

Completely free on the app store for now(app store direct link here). No ads, no in-app purchases, no data collection - only efficient hardware accelerated batch video compression to free up storage.

Please do comment if you find it useful - so far no meaningful downloads :(. Hoping it helps someone out there.

EDIT: I did the same for photos - choose large photos in bulk, send them through airplay/batch send in email etc or just compress down to a smaller size. App store direct link for PicSquash is here. Also completely free, offline capable, no ads, no in-app purchases, no data collection, no login.
