Cite it after it has been deleted
Public statements get quietly edited, and accounts get wiped. If your reporting rests on a video, resting on somebody else's copy of it is a risk.
Why this is annoying today
Sources disappear mid-story
The clip you built a piece around can be private or gone by the time it is published.
A link is not evidence
A URL proves nothing once the thing at the other end has changed.
Speed matters
When something is being taken down, you have minutes, not an afternoon.
How it goes with Boo
Grab it immediately
Paste and queue — seconds, not a workflow.
Take maximum quality
Best available, so details survive later scrutiny.
Batch related material
Every clip from a story queued in one paste.
Keep it findable
The library keeps titles and thumbnails so you can find it months later.
The bits that matter here
Fast enough to matter
Paste, pick quality, go. No account, no upload, no queue behind other users.
Full resolution
Up to 8K, because detail is often the point.
Nothing leaves your machine
No third-party service sees which material you are preserving. We do not log it either.
Questions
Does Boo keep a record of what I download?
Not with us. The library is local to your machine, and no list of URLs is transmitted to us — there is nothing on our side that could be requested or leaked.
Can I download something that is being deleted?
If it is still reachable when you paste it, usually yes. Once the platform has removed it, no tool can retrieve it — which is rather the argument for grabbing it early.
What about copyright?
Reporting and archiving often fall under fair dealing or fair use, but those doctrines are narrow, jurisdiction-specific and fact-dependent. Take proper advice for anything you intend to publish — we cannot give it.
