SentryScript
Automated YouTube mention tracking through subtitle scanning
SentryScript is a portable Windows app that automates YouTube mention tracking. It scans the subtitles of new channel uploads locally and provides precise, clickable timestamped links the exact moment your keyword is spoken.
Hi Product Hunt! 👋
In my previous job, I worked with several reputation management firms and noticed a major deficiency: they weren't tracking YouTube video mentions. I then decided to develop my own independent solution.
Initially, I created a complex script using Excel VBA and yt-dlp. I used this manually for a long time. Then, with the help of AI, I transformed it into a compiled, portable Windows desktop application called SentryScript.
Here's what it does in the background:
- It uses the open-source yt-dlp for interaction with YouTube.
- It scans the subtitles of the most recently uploaded videos to your target channels.
- All subtitle parsing and regex matching happens entirely in RAM. It never writes the actual subtitle content to your disk or sends it to a cloud database. It only saves the metadata (date, video title, and a clickable timestamped URL) locally.
- It runs in the background at specific intervals (12/24/48 hours).
Indie Dev Note:
I am an independent developer and didn't want to pay certification fees for this type of tool. Therefore, Windows SmartScreen will most likely mark the .exe file as "Unknown Publisher". I've added a clean VirusTotal scan to the repository.
Try it instantly: Download it, use the license key TRIAL-7DAYS, and test it completely free for a week.
I’d love to hear your feedback, feature requests, or any questions! Thanks!
