What is HomeTube?

HomeTube is a web UI for downloading videos and playlists from YouTube and 1700+ other sites straight into a home media server library.

Paste a URL and HomeTube analyzes the available formats, picks the best combination (AV1 > VP9 > H.264, Opus > AAC) or lets you override it, cuts or marks sponsor segments with SponsorBlock, embeds subtitles, optionally trims a clip, then writes the file with a readable name into the folder Plex, Jellyfin or Emby already watches.

Playlists are kept in sync over time: new videos, reorders, renames and removals are detected and applied with a preview before anything changes on disk. A server-side cookie file unlocks age-restricted and members-only videos.

It runs as a single Docker container on a NAS or a homelab box, is reachable from any device on the local network, and sends no telemetry. Licensed AGPL-3.0.
