We believed media should be owned, not rented.
In an era of buffering, geo-blocking, and subscription fatigue, we built a sanctuary.
Download instantly. Organize forever. Play natively.
Engineered for Absolute Freedom
Stripping away web lag, tracking scripts, and bot blocks. Pure native performance for power users.
Anti-Bot OS Interception
Native WebKitGTK kernel hooking bypasses YouTube BotGuard PO Tokens entirely. No broken extractions, no manual cookie exports, and zero dependency on external browser extensions. Your connections stay unthrottled, pristine, and completely anonymous.
Offline SQLite Ledger
Your playlists, track metadata, favorite artists, and download history map exclusively to an encrypted local SQLite ledger stored on your physical drive.
Intelligent SponsorBlock
Integrated SponsorBlock engine automatically skips intros, sponsor callouts, self-promotions, and filler segments during playback or download processing.
4K / 8K AV1 Multi-Format
Extract pristine 4K 60fps video, 320kbps MP3/FLAC audio, subtitles, and chapter markers with multi-threaded yt-dlp pipelines.
GPU Hardware Matrix
Direct VA-API and Intel QSV video engine routing offloads 4K/8K AV1 background encoding directly to hardware pipelines with near-zero CPU usage.
Native Package Distros
Native Arch Linux `.pkg.tar.zst`, Debian/Ubuntu `.deb`, standalone AppImage, Fedora `.rpm`, and Windows setup installers built natively.
Lightweight Silicon Footprint
Replacing bloated Chromium instances with Rust native system bindings results in an executable size under 15MB that consumes under 40MB RAM during background playback.
