What's going on everybody, Ian here for Cult of Mac
0:08
And if you guys are anything like me, you've probably found yourself scrolling through Instagram one day and come across a picture that you were like, wow, this would make a
0:14
really nice wallpaper on my phone or on my iPad or on my laptop
0:19
And having an easy way to save those images or view those images offline or outside of
0:23
Instagram could be really, really handy. And that's where Kube comes in
0:27
Kube is a macOS app that allows you to view and save images from either Instagram or Instagram
0:32
stories right on your Mac without ever having to log in or go to the Instagram website
0:39
And using the app is super simple. Simply punch in the username of an Instagram account or look up a hashtag or a location
0:45
and start enjoying the images, the stories, the videos that are all posted under that
0:49
account or that tag. It's a great way to enjoy Instagram without having to look at your phone or create an
0:54
Instagram account. And if that's not enough, Kube Stories also lets you back up and download content from
1:00
those hashtags, from those locations or from those accounts so you have them available
1:04
on your computer for offline viewing. One of the things I personally really like about Kube is the fact that it can automatically
1:10
save images from, like I said, hashtags or accounts and lets you use them on your Mac
1:15
for a ton of different things. For me personally, I like having a folder on my Mac of all kinds of different photography
1:21
that I really enjoy. So by using Kube, I can actually save images from a specific hashtag or location, pull
1:27
those in, and then use them as wallpapers on my Mac and actually have the Mac just cycle
1:31
through using native macOS features. Now one thing that is really cool about Kube is the fact that you don't need an Instagram
1:37
account to use it, meaning that you can simply open up the app, type in someone's username
1:42
or the hashtag or location, and see those images without ever logging in
1:46
One thing you do get when you do log in is the ability to view private accounts if they're
1:50
accounts that you follow, meaning that if you're following a friend that has their account
1:53
on private, by logging in you'd be able to see their information as well, but anything
1:57
that is public you can see without ever logging into Kube. Another huge benefit of using Kube is the fact that it's completely ad-free, meaning
2:05
that if you've gotten sick of all of the ads in your Instagram feed, just like I have
2:10
then Kube is a great way to view the images just of those that you follow without actually
2:14
seeing all of the other crud that is now filling your Instagram feed
2:19
Now a free trial of Kube Stories is available from kube.co for MacOS, Windows, and Linux
2:24
and if you're not getting enough out of the trial, you can sign up for either of their two different plans
2:28
$7 a month will get you their personal plan, which gives you access to 10 Instagram accounts
2:33
with unlimited photos, videos, stories, and of course no ads, or the professional plan
2:37
lets you view unlimited Instagram accounts and download images, videos, stories, and
2:43
again no ads. Let me know what you guys think in the comments down below
