Open Source TypeScript Video Downloaders

PulsorClip is a self-hosted media download workspace that allows users to process and download media from a wide range of online platforms. Built around the yt-dlp and ffmpeg engines, it supports over a thousand websites, including major platforms like YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and others, enabling media extraction in multiple formats. The application focuses on a controlled workflow instead of instant downloads. Users first provide a media URL, then select format, quality, and container before processing the file. It includes both a web interface built with Next.js and a Telegram bot that offers the same guided experience through chat. Both share a common backend in a monorepo structure. The system is fully self-hosted and designed to run in a single Docker deployment including both web and bot services. Users can download videos and audio in formats such as MP4, WebM, MKV, MP3, and M4A, with server-side processing and progress tracking.
