BabakCast downloads videos from YouTube, X (Twitter), Instagram and LinkedIn, copies tweet text, and turns YouTube transcripts (the written text of what is said) into summaries with your own AI provider. No accounts, no analytics, no tracking.
Paste a link from YouTube, X (Twitter), Instagram or LinkedIn and get a video or audio file you can share. Keep audio in one piece, or split it into parts of a size you choose (16 MB by default). Each part is tagged “Part n of N”, so recipients can tell the intended order.
Turn on Cut a segment and fill in where the clip starts and ends in the hours, min and sec boxes. Only that stretch is downloaded, so a ten-second clip costs about a megabyte instead of the whole video.
Download the photos, videos and GIFs from an X (Twitter) post with one tap, then share them together. A post that has both photos and videos currently saves the photos only.
Paste an X (Twitter) link and tap Copy Text to copy the tweet to your clipboard, or Share Text to open the share sheet. No media download is needed.
For a YouTube video, BabakCast gets the captions and asks your AI model for a bullet-point summary. Choose Short, Medium or Long.
Add your own API key (the access code your AI provider gives you) and a model in Settings. OpenAI and OpenRouter work in this version. Azure OpenAI, Anthropic and Gemini are listed but not finished yet.
Downloading, splitting and cutting run on your phone. Summaries and translations send text to the AI provider you set up. Your API keys are stored encrypted on your phone.
Turn on Translate to Persian and BabakCast adds an AI-generated Persian translation below the original in tweet text, summaries, and the text that goes with audio and X media. Video downloads and shares from the Downloads tab are not translated.
BabakCast is a tool for personal use. It comes with no API keys, no ads, no usage tracking and no accounts. You choose your AI provider, and you decide what you send to it.
Set up your provider in Settings. Your API key stays encrypted on your phone. OpenAI and OpenRouter work in this version. The other three are listed but not finished yet.
Coming to F-Droid
Use the download link above, or get it from GitHub Releases. The file is called an APK, which is the installation file for an Android app.
When Android asks, allow "Install from unknown sources" for your browser or file manager.
Open the downloaded .apk file and tap "Install".
Only needed for summaries and translations. Open Settings, tap OpenAI or OpenRouter under AI Providers, enter your API key, select a model and tap Save and use this provider. Downloading videos works without this step.
