Building from Source

Requires Python 3.10+ and ffmpeg/ffprobe.

pip install flask pywebview

Run in development

# Start the Flask server directly
python app.py

# Or use the desktop window
python main.py

Build the .app / .exe

You'll need static ffmpeg and ffprobe binaries in the project root. See FFMPEG_LICENSE.txt for the build configuration used in official releases.

On macOS, build a minimal LGPL ffmpeg from source:

git clone --depth 1 https://git.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git /tmp/ffmpeg-src
cd /tmp/ffmpeg-src
./configure --enable-static --disable-shared --disable-gpl --disable-nonfree \
  --enable-videotoolbox --enable-audiotoolbox --disable-doc --disable-ffplay \
  --disable-network --disable-encoders --disable-decoders \
  --enable-decoder=h264 --enable-decoder=hevc --enable-decoder=av1 \
  --disable-filters --disable-indevs --disable-outdevs \
  --disable-libxcb --disable-xlib --arch=arm64 --cc=clang
make -j$(sysctl -n hw.ncpu)
cp ffmpeg ffprobe /path/to/sentry-rewind/

On Windows, download LGPL static builds from gyan.dev.

Then package with PyInstaller:

pip install pyinstaller

# macOS
pyinstaller --windowed --name "Sentry Rewind" \
  --add-data "static:static" --add-data "FFMPEG_LICENSE.txt:." \
  --add-binary "ffmpeg:." --add-binary "ffprobe:." \
  --hidden-import webview --hidden-import pkg_resources \
  --osx-bundle-identifier com.sentryrewind.app main.py

# Windows
pyinstaller --windowed --name "Sentry Rewind" \
  --add-data "static;static" --add-data "FFMPEG_LICENSE.txt;." \
  --add-binary "ffmpeg.exe;." --add-binary "ffprobe.exe;." \
  --hidden-import webview --hidden-import pkg_resources main.py

The output will be in dist/.
