Check shiori out. It’s very minimal in terms of features, but it’s a project that seems to not use LLMs at all. It has a Firefox extension and recently someone made a vibecoded android app.

Just get an oldish SFF or USFF office computer cheap somewhere. It’s generally much cheaper and allows for upgrades if ram/ssd prices ever come down. Also somewhat new Intel CPUs are quite good for transcoding.
