Any link you want to keep,
kept on your Mac.
A bookmark is a pointer. RefHub keeps the thing — the post, its author, its video and images — so it is still there when the original is gone.
Version 0.1.0 · macOS 26 or later · no account · no subscription
RefHubThe thing itself, not a pointer to it.
Posts get deleted, accounts go private, pages move. What you saved in RefHub is a file on your Mac.
Posts from X, whole
The text, the author, the original link — and the video and images when you ask for them. You see the size before anything downloads.
↓ Download · 11.6 MB → ▶ PlayAny other page
An article, a shot, a video page, a blog: kept with its title, description, preview and a snapshot of the page itself.
The quality you choose
X video from 270p to 1080p. The size printed on the button is the size that lands on disk, and a media limit you set keeps it in bounds.
Found again in a second
Collections, favourites, tags and a note on why you saved it. Search every word; filter by Video · Image · Text · Link · X · Web.
Saved from anywhere
Paste with ⌘V, drag a link onto the window, or press ⌥⌘D in any app and the menu bar saves what is on your clipboard.
Undo anything
⌘Z takes back the last thing you did — even moving fifty saves to the Trash. The Trash keeps the files, so a restore is instant.
Saved without leaving what you’re doing.
Copy a link, press ⌥⌘D in any app, and RefHub’s quick save shows the post it found on your clipboard. Pick a collection, press Save, and carry on.
Copy. Paste. Kept.
Copy a link
A post on X, or any page you are looking at. That is all RefHub needs.
Paste it
⌘V in RefHub shows the post before you keep it: author, text, media and what it weighs. Pick a collection, or don’t.
It’s yours
The media lands in ~/Movies/RefHub, named for the author and the post. Play it in RefHub, or open the file anywhere.
What it doesn’t do.
Said plainly, so you know before you download.
Media downloads are X only, today
Other sites are kept as a page — title, preview and snapshot — not as a downloaded video.
One post, not the thread
RefHub keeps the post you saved. Threads and replies are not followed.
No sync, no cloud
Your library is on this Mac and nowhere else. There is no account to make and nothing to sign in to.
Free to start. Pay once to keep going.
Every feature is in the free version. The only limit is how many saves you keep.
Free
- 10 saves
- Every feature, including media downloads
- What you kept stays, with or without a licence
Licence
- Unlimited saves
- No subscription — pay once
- Works offline once activated
- Move it to another Mac any time
Payment is handled by Lemon Squeezy. The licence key arrives in your receipt email; paste it in RefHub › Settings › Licence.
Before you ask.
What happens when I reach 10 saves?
RefHub tells you the free limit is reached and offers the licence. Everything you already kept stays readable and playable. Saves in the Trash still count until you empty it.
Is it a subscription?
No. The licence is $4.99, once — that is the launch sale price; it is $9.99 afterwards.
Can I use my licence on a new Mac?
Yes. Choose Deactivate on this Mac in Settings › Licence, then activate the same key on the other one. Your saves stay where they are.
Where are my files?
Media is in ~/Movies/RefHub, each file named for the author and the post, so it makes sense in Finder too. You choose how much space it may take.
What if the original post is deleted?
What you downloaded is still on your Mac. A save you left as link only keeps its text, author and preview, but its media goes with the post — RefHub shows which is which on every card.
Do I need an account?
No. There is nothing to sign in to, and your library never leaves your Mac.
What does it need?
macOS 26 or later.
Keep what you find.
Ten saves are free. See whether it earns a place in your Dock.
