For video enthusiasts and media archivers who want complete ownership over their online video subscriptions, MyTube provides a self-hosted video downloader, library organizer, and streaming portal. Paste a single link or queue a batch of URLs from YouTube, Bilibili, Twitch, MissAV, and over one thousand yt-dlp compatible sites to archive videos directly to your disk. Subscribe to your favorite creators so new uploads download automatically in the background alongside their default language subtitles. Local video uploads automatically generate thumbnails and pull movie or television posters, cast details, release years, and ratings from TMDB. Curate custom collections, filter your catalog by tags or authors, and generate private RSS feed links for external podcast and feed readers. Built-in playback tools include keyboard shortcuts, cinema mode, Canvas-based in-car playback, and optional real-time audio translation with live subtitles via Google Gemini. You can sync finished recordings to Alist or OpenList cloud storage, trigger custom shell scripts on task completion, and receive instant Telegram bot alerts when downloads finish or fail. Share your library safely using read-only visitor accounts while protecting admin controls with WebAuthn passkeys or a 3x3 gesture lock.

Archiving online videos, creator channels, and curated playlists directly into a personal Plex, Jellyfin, or Emby library becomes effortless with HomeTube, a self-hosted web downloader supporting more than 1,800 streaming platforms. Users paste a single video or playlist URL into the web interface, where an intelligent format analyzer evaluates available codecs and automatically selects the highest resolution video and audio streams such as 4K AV1 or VP9 paired with Opus audio. Built-in SponsorBlock integration detects crowd-sourced sponsor segments, intros, outros, and self-promotions during the download process so saved videos play back completely ad-free without manual editing. When synchronizing playlists, the engine tracks entries by unique video ID rather than mutable titles, downloads only newly added items, preserves upstream ordering with customizable filename templates, and optionally moves removed videos into an archive folder. A visual processing panel lets operators trim specific time ranges with keyframe or frame-precise cutting, embed primary and secondary subtitle tracks alongside chapter markers, and create nested destination directories directly from the browser. Browser cookie file support unlocks age-restricted or member-only streams, while custom yt-dlp argument pass-through accommodates proxy routing and filesize caps. Once processing finishes, completed files move into watched media folders and can trigger an immediate Jellyfin library rescan via API key. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

Follow the channels you actually chose, and let their newest uploads land on your own disk instead of in an algorithmic feed. Yarrtube tracks public YouTube playlists and whole channels, checks them on a schedule, and downloads fresh videos automatically the moment they appear. The built-in web player lets you watch the collected library from a desktop or a phone browser without ads interrupting. Downloads are organized into media-server friendly folders, so the same collection shows up inside Plex, Jellyfin, or Kodi next to your films and shows. For Plex homes, an optional scan trigger refreshes the library right after a download finishes, so new episodes surface without manual rescans. You control download quality per source and can cap how many videos each channel keeps, which protects limited disk space from runaway back catalogs. Grouping sources into categories and smart playlists keeps a growing archive browsable instead of turning into one long dump. Everything runs from one Docker container with two persistent mounts, one for its small database and one for the video files. A free YouTube Data API v3 key powers the new-upload checks, so setup takes minutes. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.

Reclip is a self-hosted web downloader that turns links from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and more than a thousand other video sites into MP4 or MP3 files saved on your own server. Paste one link or a whole batch of URLs, and Reclip fetches each video's title, thumbnail, duration, and uploader before you commit to anything. A quality picker lists every available resolution, so a lecture can be grabbed at 360p for a phone while a concert film comes down at full height with the best audio stream merged in. MP3 mode strips the picture away entirely, which makes it painless to archive podcasts, DJ sets, and spoken-word clips as plain audio files. Playlists expand into their individual videos automatically, repeated URLs are deduplicated before any bandwidth is spent, and a Download All button works through the whole queue without babysitting. Each job runs in a background thread with live status in the interface, so the page stays responsive while ffmpeg finishes merging streams behind the scenes. Everything lives behind one clean page with no accounts, no uploads to third-party converters, and no expiring download links, and finished files land in a downloads folder you control. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.

LinkSift is a self-hosted media downloader that turns pasted links into finished MP4 or MP3 files through a calm browser queue you run on your own server. Paste one URL or a whole batch and it first inspects the metadata, showing titles and available qualities before a single byte of media moves. You pick MP4 or MP3, choose the video height the source actually offers, and can even request both outputs from the same link, in which case the audio is extracted from the downloaded video instead of fetched twice. Every job reports its phase, percentage, downloaded bytes, speed, and ETA live, including real encoding progress while the audio is being packaged. Reloading or reopening the tab restores the queue exactly where it was, because a running server job is never re-submitted or cancelled by a closed browser. Finished files save through the normal browser download flow, or into a folder you pick in Chromium-based browsers. A configurable concurrency limit keeps a long batch from saturating your connection, and light, dark, and system themes keep long queues easy on the eyes. There is deliberately no account system or telemetry, so the queue stays a private tool on your network. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.

To listen to your favorite YouTube channels, video playlists, and Bilibili creators during a commute without keeping a browser tab open, PigeonPod converts video subscriptions into private, standard podcast RSS feeds for any podcast player. Paste a channel URL, playlist link, or single video address to preview uploads and generate a protected feed for Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Pocket Casts, or AntennaPod. You can select audio-only or video output, customize bitrates and formats, and generate Podcasting 2.0 chapter markers for topic scrubbing. Scheduled background sync jobs fetch new releases automatically while on-demand history backfill queues older catalog episodes in bulk. Per-feed keyword rules, duration thresholds, and retention limits keep storage clean by filtering out shorts or marathon livestreams. Upload YouTube or Bilibili cookies for member-only streams, route traffic through custom proxies, and update the yt-dlp engine directly inside the web dashboard. A built-in web player, one-click public episode share pages, and OPML export let you stream in the browser or migrate subscriptions. Media files store on local disk or S3-compatible buckets such as Cloudflare R2 and MinIO, accompanied by YouTube API quota monitors and failure alerts. Multi-user role permissions support shared accounts across eight interface languages. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. GPL-3.0 licensed.

Podcast enthusiasts and homelab archivers automate digital episode preservation and stream personal audio feeds using PodFetch, an open-source self-hosted podcast manager that combines scheduled RSS downloads, Podcasting 2.0 transcript indexing, and browser playback into a modern listening platform. Listeners can subscribe to international podcast channels through direct feed URLs, Apple Podcasts directory searches, or bulk OPML subscription imports, configuring background polling timers to download new releases automatically upon publication. The integrated audio player supports variable speed playback, episode bookmarks, listening histories, and fullscreen visualization modes directly inside responsive desktop and mobile browser sessions. Advanced search capabilities leverage Podcasting 2.0 synchronized transcripts and automated speech-to-text generation via OpenAI-compatible Whisper APIs, allowing collectors to run full-text keyword searches across every spoken phrase in their audio archive. Built-in GPodder API synchronization maintains subscription lists and playback positions across popular smartphone apps like AntennaPod and native companion clients without relying on commercial cloud accounts. Server operators can assign multi-user accounts with private favorites lists, export customized RSS aggregation streams, and route storage paths between fast solid-state drives and large secondary mechanical hard disks.

PinePods delivers a centralized, self-hosted podcast ecosystem that liberates personal listening histories, audio files, and show subscriptions from commercial streaming walled gardens. Users can discover new shows through built-in search connectors across Podcast Index, iTunes, and YouTube, streaming audio and video episodes with variable playback speed, chapter markers, and synchronized transcripts. A persistent queue and custom playlist builder keep media sequences orderly across web browsers, desktop installations, and mobile clients with native CarPlay and Android Auto support. Built-in gPodder server synchronization enables seamless cross-device progress tracking with third-party podcast apps like AntennaPod. Automatic episode downloader engines monitor subscribed feeds, archiving new releases to local server storage according to customizable retention rules and storage quotas. Multi-user authentication secures household access through OIDC single sign-on and two-factor TOTP verification, while an integrated terminal client lets command-line enthusiasts manage queues directly over SSH.

Watch YouTube without the ads, accounts, or tracking, from a server you own: TubeHaus is a private YouTube client that keeps the familiar layout, URLs, and keyboard shortcuts. Your subscriptions, watch history, resume positions, Watch Later, and playlists live as files on the server, so every device in the house shares one library and picks up a video where another screen left it. Live streams play with segments fetched ahead of the player, and captions are transcribed on the fly when a stream has none. Chapters, storyboard previews, a mini player, and theater mode make long videos easy to navigate, while sponsors are skipped automatically and dislike counts come back to the page. Save videos offline in 1080p or 4K for trips, send playback to a TV from your phone without a separate casting dongle, and drive the television interface entirely from a remote. Imports arrive from a Google Takeout export, Invidious, NewPipe, or FreeTube, so years of subscriptions move over in minutes instead of being rebuilt by hand. A calm mode hides recommendations and Shorts when you only want to search and watch deliberately. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

On your own server, TypeType runs a private video platform for YouTube, NicoNico, and BiliBili, keeping subscriptions, history, and playlists out of someone else's recommendation engine. Pick a service and search it. Browse channels, Shorts, podcasts, and a home feed. Speed and quality control. Cinema mode. Native picture-in-picture. Subtitles, alternate audio tracks, and frame-by-frame stepping. SponsorBlock segments get skipped, or just marked, by category. Subscriptions, playlists, watch later, favorites, and resume positions fill the library. Import a Google Takeout export or a PipePipe backup and a new instance never starts empty. Download video or audio to local or S3-compatible storage and collect it in the browser when it is ready. Sign in locally or through OIDC. An admin console runs the instance. Block a channel and it disappears from feeds, search, and related videos. Hide Shorts. Hide personalized recommendations. Hide the suggestions column. A native Android client for phones and tablets syncs with the same instance. An optional experimental recommender can build a personalized home feed, and each user chooses whether to turn it on.

Classic eD2k and Kad downloading gets a browser interface with the look of Windows XP, Windows Classic, a clean modern dashboard, or green-on-black Hacker mode. Mularr wraps an aMule daemon and shows live download and upload graphs, active transfers with progress and remaining time, and the uploads other clients are pulling. Transfers can be started, paused, stopped, categorized, and bulk imported from ED2K links. Servers, search, shared files, categories, and extensions each get their own page. For automation it presents itself as a qBittorrent download client and a Torznab indexer, so Sonarr and Radarr can use it with their standard settings. Extensions for Sonarr and Radarr read the Wanted list and publish matches into a feed the apps can poll. Telegram can act as an extra download provider and notification channel, and Hispashare releases appear in search results next to aMule's. A VPN panel reports Gluetun health and the forwarded port, and the settings page covers ports, bandwidth limits, IP filters, a blacklist, and shared folders. One container image and a single data volume are enough to get started. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console.

A headless daemon does the downloading while you drive it from any browser: Transmission turns a plain server into a private download station that needs no desktop session and no seedbox subscription. Add torrents by file, magnet link, or watch directory, then follow progress, priorities, and per-file selection from the web interface. Speed rules keep transfers polite: global and per-torrent limits, ratio targets that stop seeding at the share you choose, and scheduled alternate limits for office hours. Bad-peer blocklists, peer exchange, DHT, and protocol encryption are built in, and trackers can be edited per torrent when a swarm moves. Finished downloads can be relocated automatically, incomplete files kept apart, and new torrents queued in the order you add them. The same daemon answers the transmission-remote command line and third-party remote apps over its RPC interface, so scripts can add, pause, and inspect transfers alongside the browser. It runs on modest hardware with a small memory footprint, which is why NAS vendors have shipped it for years.

QBitWebUI is a single self-hosted dashboard that manages every qBittorrent instance you run, whether that is one seedbox or five, from one place. Instance cards show each client's status, live speeds, and torrent counts, with aggregate statistics across all of them and quick switching between instances. The torrent list brings sortable, resizable columns you can reorder and hide, filters for status, category, tag, and tracker, multi-select bulk actions with a context menu, and a details panel covering trackers, peers, files, and web seeds. Search your Prowlarr indexers from inside the UI and send results straight to the right instance, then let RSS feeds with regex auto-download rules keep recurring releases flowing in unattended. Browse the downloads directory and pull finished files or whole folders as tar archives, run an automatic cross-seed pass to match torrents across trackers, and check the connection with the network agent's speedtest, IP check, and DNS diagnostics. Edit qBittorrent preferences directly from the settings tabs, pick a color theme, and keep working from your phone with the installable PWA and mobile view.

Kaloscope manages your media library the way a flowchart thinks: search, download, scrape, rename, shelve, and play, each step a node you can see and rearrange. Drag HTTP requests, Python scripts, conditions, and loops onto the canvas to build the exact pipeline your sources need, then import community templates from GitHub when someone has already solved your problem. Global search aggregates multiple indexers at once, and finished finds flow straight into aria2, qBittorrent, Transmission, or OpenList for cloud downloading, with keyword rules and schedules automating the recurring hunts. Libraries for movies, series, and other media watch folders in real time, scrape rich metadata with custom naming rules, and read or write NFO files alongside the media. Press play in the same interface: FLV, HLS, and MP4 stream with on-demand transcoding, hardware acceleration, danmaku comments, and resume points that follow you between sessions. An AI assistant can draft workflows from plain language, inspect logs, and manage downloads, and external AI clients connect over MCP with token permissions you control. Per-library permissions, themes, and an installable PWA round out a server the whole household can use. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. GPL-3.0 licensed.

Find a title tonight and wake up to it named, filed, and ready to play: Mediarium is a self-hosted media manager that finds, downloads, repairs, and organizes movies, TV, music, ebooks, and audiobooks from one web page on your own server. Search once and it queries your Usenet and torrent indexers together, grabs the best release, unpacks it, applies your naming rules, and places it where Plex, Jellyfin, or Emby expects it. Quality profiles with upgrades and fallbacks keep hunting better copies automatically, while delay profiles, a blocklist with retries, and tags such as Kids or 4K keep the wrong releases out and collections tidy. Subtitles are matched to your exact file, with a timing fix when one runs out of sync. Family accounts carry permissions of their own: relatives who cannot add titles send requests you approve, and watch history read from your media server drives statistics and optional cleanup rules. The built-in Books app reads ebooks, plays audiobooks chapter by chapter, remembers your place everywhere, and even opens Kindle books. Torrents can run behind a built-in WireGuard VPN with a kill switch, downloads repair and unpack themselves, and notifications, backups, and a post-import script keep the routine invisible. Moving over reads your Radarr, Sonarr, Prowlarr, SABnzbd, and other existing setups without changing them.

Backed by 27,700+ GitHub stars and actively developed with the v0.9.x architectural overhaul introducing an event-driven plugin ecosystem, ArchiveBox delivers the open-source self-hosted web archiving platform that preserves websites, bookmarks, social posts, media, source code, and research material in durable formats before link rot, platform shutdowns, and censorship erase them permanently. Feed it URLs one at a time or schedule automated imports from browser history, RSS feeds, Pocket, Pinboard, Instapaper, Wallabag, Shaarli, JSON, CSV, HTML bookmark exports, and browser extension captures. Each snapshot stores redundant copies as original HTML, rendered single-file HTML via SingleFile, full-page PDF, screenshot PNG, WARC archive, article text via Readability, favicons, HTTP headers, media files via yt-dlp, git repository clones, and structured metadata in SQLite. The Docker Compose deployment bundles Chrome, wget, curl, yt-dlp, SingleFile, and Readability parsers with automatic dependency management and isolation. Interact through the self-hosted web UI with search, tagging, and admin controls, the comprehensive CLI for batch operations, the REST API for programmatic access, or the Python API for custom integrations. The new abx-plugins system enables community extractors with per-plugin configuration, while the append-only-log architecture provides resumable crawls and audit trails. S3, B2, and Google Cloud storage backends sync archives to remote storage via rclone.
