DarkUGC

DarkUGC is a free research library of short-form UGC videos made for apps and brands. It’s aimed at marketers, creative teams, and ad buyers who want real examples they can study, not generic ideas. Videos come mostly from small TikTok and Instagram creators, and each one is grouped under its brand.

Use it to compare formats and build a better creator brief from what’s already working in the wild:

• UGC video library with thousands of recorded short videos for app marketing
• Brand collections so you can see multiple creator posts for a single app
• Creator and platform info included per video (who posted it and where)
• Engagement and performance metrics like recorded views, likes, comments, shares, and saves (when available)
• Filters for creative direction including creator type, format, platform, production, brand, duration, and post date
• Range-based search for views, engagement rate, and other measurable outcomes
• Saved posts and cross-device access (so you can keep references for later)

What stands out is that it’s built for “idea discovery” and comparison. You can sort and filter by relevance, time, and performance so you quickly narrow down patterns across brands and creators, then use those examples to shape your next video direction.
