A cross-platform video downloader with built-in sniffing — point it at a
page, pick what you want, and save. No packet capture, no browser
extensions to configure, no fiddling with command-line tools.
The app UI currently ships with English, Simplified Chinese, and Italian.
## ✨ What's inside
### 🌐 Browser extension for Chrome / Edge
See something you want on any site → click the extension → send it to
MediaGo. Detects video resources automatically, shows the count on the
toolbar badge, works with most mainstream video platforms including
YouTube, Bilibili and more. Ships bundled with the Desktop app — open
**Settings → More Settings → Browser extension directory** to find the
install folder.
### 🎬 YouTube and 1000+ sites
Powered by yt-dlp under the hood. Supports YouTube, Twitter/X, Instagram,
Reddit and [over a thousand more video sites](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/blob/master/supportedsites.md).
### 🦞 AI assistants can download for you — OpenClaw Skill
Using Claude Code, Cursor or another AI coding assistant? Install the
MediaGo skill and just say _"please download this video: <url>"_.
The AI handles the rest.
```shell
npx clawhub@latest install mediago
```
### 🔌 Works with other tools
MediaGo exposes a full HTTP API — scripts, automation tools and other
apps can create download tasks, query progress and manage the list
directly. The browser extension uses this same API to talk to the desktop
app; anyone else can tap in too.
### 🎞️ Built-in format conversion
After a download finishes, convert it to another format or quality
without leaving MediaGo. No more opening a separate tool for ffmpeg.
### 🐳 One-line Docker deployment
Headless install on your server, then access the web UI from anywhere on
the same network:
```shell
docker run -d --name mediago -p 8899:8899 -v /path/to/mediago:/app/mediago caorushizi/mediago:3.5.0
```
For builds that request an initialization code, read `setup-token` in the server config directory (`docker exec mediago cat /app/mediago/data/setup-token` for the default container), then enter it on the setup page. The file is deleted after successful setup; existing accounts do not need to initialize again.
Available on [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/caorushizi/mediago) and GHCR (`ghcr.io/caorushizi/mediago`) — same image, pick whichever registry is faster for you. Supports both Intel / AMD (amd64) and ARM (arm64). On the desktop build,
MediaGo listens on both `127.0.0.1` and your LAN IP out of the box, so
phones and tablets on the same Wi-Fi can open the web UI too.

## 🧑💻 Development from source
Install [One CLI](https://github.com/1cli-team/one-cli) 0.1.24 or newer first.
**macOS / Linux:**
```bash
curl -fsSL https://1cli.dev/install.sh | bash
```
**Windows (PowerShell):**
```powershell
irm https://1cli.dev/install.ps1 | iex
```
For manual installation, download the CLI archive for your operating system
and architecture from [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/1cli-team/one-cli/releases/latest)
and add the `one` executable to `PATH`.
After installation, open a new terminal and run these commands from the
repository root:
```shell
one --version
one mise trust
one mise install
one setup
one dev
one dev:web
one dev:electron
one check
one test
```
`one.manifest.toml` registers the existing projects. `mise.toml` pins Node,
pnpm, Go and Task and exposes product workflows through One. Run `one run`
to list tasks, `one build -p core` to build Core, or `one build -p docs`
to build the documentation. `one dev --dry-run -o json` previews execution.
After changing package scripts, run `one init mise` and review the diff.
See [CONTRIBUTING.md](./CONTRIBUTING.md) for configuration and validation.
The following Task commands remain compatible and are used by existing CI:
Repository workflows support [Task](https://taskfile.dev/) v3.51.1 or newer
within the v3 release line. Install the latest compatible v3 release on macOS,
Linux, or Windows (PowerShell) with a Go toolchain, make sure the Go binary
directory is on `PATH`, and verify it before running repository commands:
```shell
go install github.com/go-task/task/v3/cmd/task@latest
task --version
```
From the repository root, the primary clone-and-start flow is:
```shell
git clone https://github.com/caorushizi/mediago.git
cd mediago
task setup
task dev:all
```
`task setup` installs the Node workspace and the runtime tools needed by the
application. Their only version source is `packages/tooling/manifests/runtime-deps.json`; Task
does not automatically upgrade them. Running `pnpm install` alone installs
only Node workspace packages, not runtime binaries such as BBDown.
One delegates product workflows to the existing Taskfile. Turbo, pnpm `:raw`
scripts, Go commands, and utilities in `packages/tooling` remain implementation
details used by Task and CI.
Use `task dev:web` for the web surface or `task dev:electron` for
desktop-only development. The deployable Web product is the Docker image;
there is no separate Node.js server package. Before submitting changes, run:
```shell
task check
task test
```

### Security checks
Run `pnpm security:js` for the complete workspace dependency audit and
`pnpm security:go` with official `govulncheck` v1.9.0 on PATH for affected Go
function calls. GitHub runs these checks, CodeQL, and container dependency scans
on pull requests and daily. Container scans cover OS and identifiable embedded
packages; absence of findings does not validate every bundled native library.
The UI development server binds to `127.0.0.1` by default. For intentional LAN
testing, set `MEDIAGO_DEV_HOST=0.0.0.0` in `.env.development.local`.
The runtime container uses Distroless Debian 13 with the required ICU/zlib libraries
and package provenance. It keeps the same port, volume paths and appended flag
overrides. There is no shell or package manager inside the production image; use
`docker logs` and the health/API endpoints for diagnostics. The external streaming
engine is rebuilt from checksum-pinned v0.2.1 source with the patched Go toolchain.
