A research tool built for how short-form video actually gets consumed
Research tools were built for articles and reports. Nobody built one for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts — even though that's where a huge chunk of signal now lives. Sftir is that tool. Save what matters. Get transcripts, summaries, patterns, and cross-platform search so the research actually gets done.
How sftir helps
Cross-platform, one library
TikTok, Reels, Shorts, X, LinkedIn videos — all in one searchable archive. Stop context-switching between five platforms' built-in saves interfaces.
Built for scale
Power and Creator plans handle hundreds or thousands of videos a month. API access means you can build Sftir into whatever research pipeline you already use.
Signal over noise
Topic tags surface what's actually being discussed across your saves. Hook + format analysis on Creator shows you which patterns are cutting through. You see the forest, not every tree.
How it works
Collect videos across platforms
Save via extension, share sheet, or URL paste — whatever's fastest for each platform. The library unifies them automatically.
Sftir structures the corpus
Transcripts, summaries, topic tags, creator metadata. Everything you need for real research, not just a bookmark pile.
Query, analyze, export
Full-text search. Topic-filtered views. CSV/JSON exports. API access. Your corpus is usable the way a research database should be.
For the social analyst
Zara analyzes content trends for a media agency. She saves 200+ videos a month across TikTok, Reels, and Shorts — tagged into topical collections for each client. Sftir's exports feed into her reports. What used to take a full week of manual watching now takes two days of reading summaries.
Frequently asked questions
What platforms does Sftir support?
TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, X (Twitter), and LinkedIn. One library across all five.
How do you handle research scale?
Pro handles 225 videos/month, Power does 1,500, Creator is unlimited. The API scales with your plan — saving via automation is a first-class flow.
Can I share research findings with a team?
Yes. Collections can be shared via public link, showing videos + summaries + transcripts. Team use beyond that is a near-term roadmap item — current product is individual-focused.
Does Sftir do sentiment analysis?
Not as a built-in feature. The transcripts are available via API, so if sentiment scoring matters to your workflow you can run it with whatever tooling you prefer.
