MyTube
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. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.
Pinchflat
Archiving YouTube channels and playlists into a local media server becomes effortless with Pinchflat, a self-hosted media manager that automates downloading, naming, and organizing online video and audio libraries on disk. Instead of manually copying links into command-line downloaders, you define reusable Media Profiles with presets tailored for Plex, Jellyfin, Kodi, or raw archival storage, and then attach any number of YouTube channels or playlists as monitored sources. Fast Indexing polls RSS feeds or the YouTube API to detect newly published uploads within minutes while falling back to scheduled full scans so back-catalog videos are never missed. Granular source rules let you include or exclude YouTube Shorts and livestreams, filter titles by keyword patterns, enforce earliest upload cutoff dates, and set automatic retention windows that prune older files after a configured number of days. Built-in SponsorBlock integration marks or strips sponsor segments and embeds chapters alongside thumbnails, subtitles, and NFO metadata files so episodes appear cleanly inside your home theater library. You can also schedule Delayed Redownloads a few days after initial publication to capture higher-bitrate transcodes or crowd-sourced SponsorBlock tags, supply browser cookies for private playlists, and subscribe to any archived source in mobile podcast players through generated RSS feeds.

PigeonPod
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.
