BeReal Wrapped

NOTE: This is a fork of BeReel; please go give the original creator a star!

(Below is mostly quoted; deployment instructions and edits, TBD, are new.)

Miss the time-lapse recap feature from BeReal? Introducing BeReal Wrapped, a website (or CLI) interface to generate one.

• Fetch memories for a specific year
• Create a time-lapse that syncs with a .wav audio

Usage

Ways to use this project.

Web

Go to this URL.

CLI

Clone and set up the repository. (Instructions are below.)

Then run make cli from the root.

Eventually, this may be repackaged into a pip install.

Docker (CLI)

Run the following command, after launching Docker.

docker pull michaelfromyeg/bereal-wrapped-cli

docker run -it --rm \
    -v /some/path/to/songs:/app/songs \
    -v /some/path/to/videos:/app/bereal/static/videos \
    --name bereal-wrapped-cli bereal-wrapped-cli

When it asks for a song path, you'll only be able to use /app/content/song.wav. I'm working on making it work with your local file system.

Development

Follow these instructions to get your project up and running.

Prerequisites

Make sure you have the following installed on your machine.

• Python 3.11
• pip

If you are missing either (and are on macOS or Linux), run

brew install python@3.11

Development Setup

First, create a virtual environment.

python3.11 -m venv env

source env/bin/activate

Run all required libraries and run the app:

pip install --upgrade pip
pip install -r requirements/dev.txt

mypy --install-types

make run

The Flask app will be available on http://localhost:5000. Multiple folders will be created to pull image data from your memories.

Docker Setup

Docker Setup, Web

First, run docker build -f Dockerfile -t bereal-wrapped-server ..

Then, run it locally with docker run -p 5000:5000 -it --rm --name bereal-wrapped-server bereal-wrapped-server.

Docker Setup, CLI

First, run docker build -f Dockerfile.cli -t bereal-wrapped-cli ..

Then, run it locally with the following command.

docker run -it --rm \
    -v /some/path/to/songs:/app/songs \
    -v /some/path/to/videos:/app/bereal/static/videos \
    --name bereal-wrapped-cli bereal-wrapped-cli

# e.g.,

docker run -it --rm \
    -v ~/code/bereal-wrapped/content/songs:/app/songs \
    -v ~/code/bereal-wrapped/export:/app/bereal/static/videos \
    --name bereal-wrapped-cli bereal-wrapped-cli

To push the image, do the following.

docker tag bereal-wrapped-cli:latest michaelfromyeg/bereal-wrapped-cli:latest

docker push michaelfromyeg/bereal-wrapped-cli

Opted for Digital Ocean. Cheap, easy, and supports docker-compose.

Project Structure

Remarks

This project wouldn't be here without the amazing work by chemokita13. Please give him a star.

This app is to be run locally as to comply with user security laws and privacy. Under no cases does this app store metadata elsewhere.

The app utilizes a third-party API which may not follow the terms and conditions set by BeReal; all videos and images produced from this app are to be considered personal use and should only use accounts owned by the user.

If BeReal has particular issues with this project, do not hesitate to reach out to myself or the downstream fork's creator.
