Every time you like or save a video, it trains the algorithm.
It learns what you watch.
What you like.
What keeps you scrolling.
And then it gives you more of it.
The Problem With Saving Inside Apps
When you save videos on TikTok or Instagram:
- You feed the algorithm
- You get more addictive content
- Your behavior is tracked
You don’t just save content, you shape what controls you.
A Different Way to Save Videos
What if the place you keep videos ranked them by people instead of by one endless personalized algorithm?
That’s the idea behind DögEar.
Use DögEar Instead
DögEar is a free iPhone and Android app that shows what's trending in your city, ranked by the people who live there. You see what people near you are watching, upvote the videos worth watching and downvote the rest, save the ones you love, and post them to your city’s feed.
- Feeds ranked by community votes, not one endless personalized algorithm
- No sign-up needed to browse; sign up only to save and post
- Your precise GPS coordinates never leave your device; only a city label is sent
- No selling of personal data, and you can delete your account from inside the app
What it does collect, plainly: an email address for accounts, and ads are served by Google AdMob, with the App Tracking Transparency prompt asking your permission before any ad tracking. Read the full privacy policy.
What else do people ask?
Does saving a TikTok affect my algorithm?
Saving is one of the signals feed apps use to decide what to show you, so saved videos tend to bring more of the same.
How can I save videos without feeding the algorithm?
Keep them in a place whose feed is not personalized to you. DögEar ranks city feeds by community votes and lets you save and post videos.

Yes. DögEar is free on iPhone and Android and supported by ads.
Do I need an account to use DögEar?
