A self-hosted, open-source video and audio downloader with a clean web UI. Paste links from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Twitter/X, and 1000+ other sites — download as MP4 or MP3.

This is a fork of averygan/reclip with additional features: persistent download jobs, progress tracking, file management, and a concurrent download system.

• Download videos from 1000+ supported sites (via yt-dlp)
• MP4 video or MP3 audio extraction
• Quality/resolution picker
• Bulk downloads — paste multiple URLs at once
• Persistent jobs — download state survives page reloads and server restarts
• Progress tracking — live progress bar with percentage and estimated size
• Cancel downloads — stop an active download at any time
• Downloaded files list — browse completed downloads directly in the UI
• Concurrent downloads — multiple downloads can run in parallel
• Clean, responsive UI — no frameworks, no build step

git clone https://github.com/papulo79/reclip.git
cd reclip
docker compose up -d

Open http://localhost:8899.

For development (uses local code with live reload):

docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up -d --build

git clone https://github.com/papulo79/reclip.git
cd reclip
./reclip.sh

This creates a virtual environment, installs Flask and yt-dlp, and starts the app on port 8899.
