Thanks for the feedback! You're right, if you know how to write a script or prompt Claude, you can absolutely spin up a quick tool to scrape attachments in a few minutes.

That said, the $29 price point is for the execution and friction-removal. Turning a raw script into a compiled, code-signed desktop app that handles OS security gates (Mac Dev ID and Windows Smartscreen), dynamically manages Google rate limits, and a provides a beautiful UI for non-technical users takes a lot of effort.

For people who want to rescue their photos without opening a terminal - or who don't even know what a terminal is - this app is a huge win for them.
