Old: Download, transcribe, and summarize YouTube videos and podcasts
with AI.
New: Turn videos and podcasts into structured topic summaries with
clickable timestamps.
Updated in both the StartOS manifest (startos/manifest/i18n.ts) and
the registry card (startos-registry/packages/recap/package.json).
Renamed to Recap. New StartOS package id, new Keysat product slug,
new display name everywhere user-visible. StartOS will treat this as
a fresh install.
The product was always more than YouTube — it handles podcast feeds
too, and the upcoming multi-provider work makes it less Gemini-
specific. New name: Recap.
This is a coordinated identity change across:
• StartOS package id: youtube-summarizer → recap
(manifest.id; the .s9pk filename, Docker image namespace, and
install path under StartOS all derive from this automatically)
• Display name: "YouTube Summarizer" → "Recap"
(manifest title, activation screen heading, page <title>, console
log on boot, i18n strings, ABOUT.md, Dockerfile header,
docker_entrypoint banner)
• Keysat product slug: youtube-summarizer → recap
(server/license.js PRODUCT_SLUG; frontend fallback strings)
• Daemon subscription id: youtube-summarizer-sub → recap-sub
• Env var prefix: YT_SUMMARIZER_* → RECAP_*
(LICENSE_KEY, LICENSE_KEY_PATH, MAX_OFFLINE_DAYS,
VALIDATE_INTERVAL_MS)
• localStorage keys: yt-summarizer-* → recap-*
(gemini-key, activation-skipped, clips)
• Library export filename: youtube-summarizer-library.json →
recap-library.json
• npm package names: youtube-summarizer-{startos,server} → recap-*
• Deploy paths: youtube-summarizer_x86_64.s9pk → recap_x86_64.s9pk
(default values in bin/deploy.sh; .deploy.env on dev machine
needs the same update before next push)
• Self-hosted registry directory: startos-registry/packages/
youtube-summarizer → .../recap (with package.json + INSTRUCTIONS
rewritten)
What does NOT change:
• Filesystem repo path (still /Users/.../youtube-summarizer/)
• Git history / commit messages
• Existing version files in startos/versions/ (kept as-is — the
version chain belongs to the package's own history regardless of
its display name)
User-side follow-ups required:
1. Create "recap" product in Keysat admin, set up Core/Pro tier
policies (same entitlements as before), mint a fresh test
license. Old "youtube-summarizer" licenses won't activate
against the new slug.
2. Update .deploy.env (gitignored) so FILEBROWSER_PATH and
REGISTRY_PUBLIC_URL point at recap_x86_64.s9pk.
StartOS will treat this as a brand-new app on install — existing
youtube-summarizer installs will not auto-migrate (acknowledged
intentional given no real users yet).
Release notes:
Add free mode for unlicensed users (one video at a time, no library).
Online license revocation check via Keysat /v1/validate.
Fix blank-screen bug after processing long videos.
Ship deploy-script polish (no double-bump prompt).
Snapshot of the working tree before cleanup. Captures:
- Keysat licensing: server/license.js, /api/license/* endpoints in
server/index.js, activation modal in public/index.html, embedded
Ed25519 issuer key (assets/issuer.pub).
- StartOS 0.4 expansion: setApiKey action, version files v0.1.1
through v0.1.15, file-models/config.json.ts, manifest updates.
- Self-hosted registry server (startos-registry/).
- Build/deploy scripts (bin/bump-version.sh, bin/deploy.sh, vendored
yt-dlp binary), .gitignore, .deploy.env.example.
- Recent design docs (KEYSAT_INTEGRATION.md, UPGRADE-DESIGN.md) —
retained here so they remain recoverable when removed in the
follow-up cleanup commit.
