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.
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.
Powered by yt-dlp under the hood. Supports YouTube, Twitter/X, Instagram, Reddit and over a thousand more video sites.
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.
npx clawhub@latest install mediagoMediaGo 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.
After a download finishes, convert it to another format or quality without leaving MediaGo. No more opening a separate tool for ffmpeg.
Headless install on your server, then access the web UI from anywhere on the same network:
docker run -d --name mediago -p 8899:8899 -v /path/to/mediago:/app/mediago caorushizi/mediago:3.5.0Available on Docker Hub 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.
