Download Instagram posts, understand your collected Reels, and keep the useful ideas. Every feature below has its own visible product screenshot.
Actual interface. Workspace examples use fictional sample data. Setup screens show setup, not completed live jobs.
Collect what you can view. Keep the next action on the post.
Open a profile and build a local research library.
Requires the installed extension and your signed-in Instagram session. The preview shows the connection dialog, not a completed collection.
The small download icon starts the media download without opening the research drawer.
Media availability depends on Instagram. Allow media access if Chrome asks, and use downloads with the creator’s permission.
One selection bar for saving or downloading a group of posts.
Select loaded applies to posts loaded on the page, not every post on the account. Save does not bookmark posts on Instagram.
Small card controls keep individual actions close to the media.
The pictured card uses fictional sample data and has no downloadable Instagram media. Live posts show only metrics and media actually available.
Search, filter, compare and keep the useful posts.
Find a topic inside the posts you have collected.
Search runs across your collected posts, not all of Instagram.
Switch between Reels and images, then rank the results by the metric you need.
Date filters use post dates. A blank metric means unavailable, not zero.
Viral-score badges put a Reel’s view count in context.
Viral score = views divided by the collected Reel average. The outlier filter starts at 2×; it is not a forecast.
Read captions, dates, views, likes, comments and engagement in aligned rows.
The same collected posts power both views; unavailable metrics remain blank.
Apply one action to the posts you have chosen.
Selections apply to the current results. Download needs available direct media URLs.
Saved reels gives useful research a place to return to.
Saved records stay in this browser’s Looksee storage. They do not change your Instagram saved posts or sync across devices.
Understand the collected sample, one chart at a time.
See collected posts, known views, the average and engagement together.
These are collected-sample figures. They are not the creator’s private Instagram Insights or a complete account history.
Each point connects a Reel’s views to its response rate.
Only Reels with views, likes and comments can appear. Engagement here means (likes + comments) ÷ views.
Compare average views across duration ranges.
The chart describes the collected sample; it does not prove that a particular length causes better performance.
A day-by-hour heatmap shows observed average views.
Empty cells have no data. Small samples are uncertain; this is not a guaranteed best time to post.
See average views and sample counts for the top hashtag groups.
Hashtags overlap across posts. A correlation does not prove the hashtag caused performance.
Review original audio, licensed music, Reels, carousels and images.
Unavailable view counts remain unknown. Format and audio comparisons describe this sample, not a causal advantage.
Open the highest-view collected Reels to inspect what stood out.
Ranks describe collected Reels with known views, not the creator’s complete account history.
Compare the other end of the ranking before drawing conclusions.
Low views alone do not make a post a creative failure. This is a collected-sample comparison.
Keep the words beside the post, then turn research into your own work.
Use hosted processing, or configure a local provider.
This screenshot shows provider setup, not a completed hosted job. Hosted processing uses your account allowance; local providers require setup, and OpenAI can incur provider charges. English transcription is supported.
The script sits beside the post’s metrics.
The pictured script is hand-authored sample text with no playable sample video. Transcription accuracy depends on the recording.
Browse the scripts you have already created.
Reopening a locally saved script does not create a new transcription request.

Looksee does not automatically send the prompt to an AI service or generate the answer inside this dialog.
Move your findings into a spreadsheet or a wider research workflow.
Take selected or filtered research into Google Sheets and Excel.
Exports include available URLs, captions, metrics, dates, hashtags, music and saved transcript text. Unavailable fields stay blank.
Compare Reels, known-view counts, averages, engagement and collection dates.
The screenshot shows the real setup state; the fictional sample is excluded from comparisons. Daily tracking is opt-in, requires Chrome running and Instagram signed in, and depends on what Instagram loads.
Make a research snapshot available to a configured local MCP client.
Advanced setup required. The snapshot includes captions and saved scripts, excludes media URLs and pairing tokens, and disappears from server memory when the server stops.
Configure the clock, account and local records.
Keep collected posts, filters and summary stats beside your Instagram browsing.

Make posting-time research use the clock you choose.
Changing timezone changes the time grouping, not the original post or its view count.
Use the account service for sign-in, collection allowances and hosted transcription.
The screenshot shows the signed-out setup state. The account service displays current plan terms before any purchase; no billing completion is implied by this image.

This is a manual local export. It is not cloud sync or an automatic backup, and an in-app restore feature is not shown.
Keep requested files distinct from files Chrome completed.
The preview shows zero downloads. Counts and Chrome’s download records describe actual runs; a request is not proof a file completed.
Open an image to inspect the full library, analytics dashboard or post-details view.
