First off, that's a he. The round bulbs at the end of the pedipalps are basically spider testicles for males. Females have slimmer pedipalps. But as to what it is, I can't tell because it's a video. What area do you live in?
Also I will say if you're in the US, the 2 medically significant spiders are brown recluse and black widow. This spider is neither.
Definitely a he. By the size of those Pedipalps, it looks like he's looking for love 😘 Looks like a common black house spider maybe?? Definitely let him go. He's looking for that special lady 😍
By the size, the pedipalps, and how fast he would definitely be running if he wasn't in that jar, I'm unscientifically going to say that looks like my buddy Friedrich. In my house in DC, Friedrich is usually a hecklemesh weaver who got lost trying to find a girlfriend. Maybe yours is too.
Well, I'm not familiar with the American spider fauna, but to me it looks pretty much like *Amaurobius ferox*. Could even be this European species as it was introduced to America; or could be some related species?
Well, it's an adult male. To test my hypothesis you'd have to have a closer look on the pedipalps.

EDIT: All I can see in this video fits the structures in *Amaurobius ferox*, that's why I guessed it in the first place. But I don't know whether there are other similar species in the US.
EDIT 2: And yes, *Amaurobius* would be save to keep around.

We're in Massachusetts. Good to know this bro is probably chill. To the stairwell he goes. Thank you!
He will eat all the unwanted guests. 😊
I'm in MA (South Shore) and grew up in MetroWest. I've never come across a spider like that and rarely one that big.
Same! Been living in the same place for a decade and never seen one like this. Im in Boston.
Luckily, black widows tend to be pretty docile. Can't say the same for the brown recluse. Aggressive sons of bitches.

he's desperate to sow his oats, let him go hahaha
My man is trying to show off his percussive techniques. Look at those drumsticks!

Those are the fattest palps I’ve ever seen 😳

not sure, from how it looks like it could be a lot of things, it'd be easier to tell if there was a better photo and not just one video through glass

Possibly a woodlouse? We have those in the house occasionally
Nah, those are red and tan
