TubeSync

TubeSync is a powerful self-hosted application designed to automatically sync and download YouTube videos from subscriptions or playlists, functioning as a Personal Video Recorder (PVR) for YouTube content. Similar to how Sonarr manages TV shows, TubeSync manages YouTube channels and playlists with built-in download capabilities and intelligent retry mechanisms. The application provides an intuitive web interface for managing downloads, supports advanced filtering options, and integrates seamlessly with popular media management systems like Plex and Jellyfin.

Common Use Cases

Content archivists use TubeSync to automatically backup educational content, tutorials, and documentaries from YouTube channels before they become unavailable. Media enthusiasts leverage it to build personal libraries of entertainment content, music videos, and podcast archives with automated organization. Educational institutions deploy TubeSync to maintain offline copies of instructional videos and course materials for classroom use. Home media server administrators integrate it with Plex or Jellyfin to provide family members access to curated YouTube content without ads or internet dependencies. Content creators use it to backup their own videos and monitor competitors' content for research purposes.
