The model

Four pieces.One workflow.

ObiStrip is built on four nouns. Learn them once and the rest of the app reads itself. Hover a piece to see how they connect.

01
YT
YT
YT
Source
Where the records live.

Add a YouTube channel or playlist as a Source. ObiStrip syncs new uploads from the producers and labels you trust — your shelf stays stocked without scrolling.

02
Crate
Pull what you want to dig.

A Crate is a themed bucket of full videos. Drop in a 6-hour disco mix, a beatmaker compilation, that one library music channel — anything you want to come back to.

03
S
Sample
Press S. Save the moment.

While the video plays, hit S to bookmark the exact timestamp. Tag it, rate it, label it. The chop is searchable — not the four-minute upload it lived inside.

04
Tape
Stack chops into a beat.

Tapes are curated runs of Samples — like a playlist, but for chops. Sequence drum breaks, horn stabs, vocal flips. Share the Tape; other diggers can fork it.

$ obistrip --workflow

Add a Source. Pull videos into a Crate. Mark a Sample. Sequence into a Tape.

The Why

YouTube is the world's biggest record store, with the worst filing system.

Music producers find incredible samples on YouTube, but the platform is built for watching, not for organizing timestamps, chops, and digging workflows. ObiStrip turns long uploads into usable sample sources.

"I found a perfect drum break at 14:02, but three days later, it was gone. My 'Watch Later' became a graveyard of forgotten loops. I didn't need a player; I needed a workflow."

ObiStrip helps you organize YouTube sources into Crates and save your best moments as Tapes, so the next time you find a great chop, you can actually find it again.

Identified Friction

  • 01

    The Needle in the Haystack

    60-minute compilations with only two 5-second loops. Stop saving the video. Save the chop.

  • 02

    The Algorithm trap

    Break the cycle of distraction. Stay in the zone with algorithm-free digging.

  • 03

    Isolated Discovery

    Why dig alone? We build a shared map to the internet's rarest sound archives.

The Toolkit

Built for
Obsessive Digging.

Everything you need to organize YouTube sample discovery into a repeatable crate digging workflow.

Precision workflow

Save the exact moment, not just the video.

The core workflow happens while you listen. ObiStrip lets you open a source video, play through it, set precise timemarks, and tag moments while the context is still fresh. That turns long YouTube uploads into something producers can actually use later.

Curate Crates

Organize YouTube videos, channels, and archives into crates so your sample sources stay searchable and easy to revisit.

Precision Chops

Save precise timestamps for the exact moments you want to sample instead of scrubbing through long videos again.

Sample Tapes

Organize your findings into Tapes. Groups of timestamps and chops ready for previewing, exporting, or sharing with your production collaborators.

Detailed Tags

Go beyond names. Apply detailed tags for mood, key, BPM, and instrument. Search your entire archive of chops with professional-grade metadata filters.

Publish Works

Share your curated Crates, Tapes, or individual Samples with the community. Build your reputation as an elite selector in the ObiStrip ecosystem.

Global Explore

A community-driven map of the internet. Discover rare Crates, Tapes, Channels, and Samples curated by fellow diggers worldwide.

System overview

A simple workflow for producers.

ObiStrip turns digital digging into a repeatable process: discover sources, save them into crates, capture timestamps as samples, and organize the best finds into tapes. The workflow stays lightweight, but it adds structure where playlists and browser tabs fall short.
