◆ What is AETHRYON?

AETHRYON turns a public video link into a file you can keep: MP4 video, MP3 audio, a clip, a GIF or a still image. It started as a single iPhone Shortcut and grew into a small ecosystem built around one account:

• the website to create your account, manage personal access keys, follow your activity and edit media in AETHRYON Tools;
• an iOS Shortcut that appears in the share sheet;
• a browser extension that adds an AETHRYON button next to the video you are watching;
• a Discord bot that answers privately in any conversation;
• AETHRYON Desktop and a Premiere Pro panel for Windows (beta).

Why it exists: getting a clean file out of a link should not require shady websites full of ads and trackers. AETHRYON is ad-free, collects only what the service needs, and shows the real state of things — limits, errors and quotas are spelled out instead of hidden.

[!NOTE] The user interface of the apps is currently in French. Code, documentation and contributions are welcome in English.

◆ See it in action

Screen recordings of the Discord bot in a real Discord client and of the Shortcut on a real iPhone are not available yet. Rather than showing a staged imitation, their slots are documented in assets/README.md. The launch film shows both flows in motion design.
