Riplox

Riplox — Free Download. Video downloader

Riplox is a Windows video downloader with a paired phone half. Share a video link from any phone app and the download starts on the PC at full quality. The PC never opens a port, every message is AES-GCM encrypted, and the video is fetched by the PC on its own connection. It grabs 4K, 1440p, 1080p, 720p, 480p, 360p, or MP3 audio with cover art and tags. Playlists, channel sections, and queues run several at once and survive restarts. Output is MP4 in H.264 where a site offers it, so files play anywhere without extra codecs. There is no download cap, no quota, no paid tier, and no account. The download engine updates itself inside the app, and a portable build keeps settings, history, and phone pairing in a Data folder beside the program.

  • Phone pairing via share sheet. Pair a phone once and its share sheet gains a Riplox entry. Sharing a video link from any app sends it to the PC, where the download starts at full quality. On the same Wi-Fi the link goes straight across the local network with no internet connection required. Away from home the link travels through a relay that carries a sealed envelope it cannot read. Only the link travels; the video is fetched by the PC on its own connection. The PC never opens a port, and all messages are AES-GCM encrypted.
  • Quality selection with exact file sizes. Before choosing a quality, the app shows how large the resulting file will be. Options include 4K, 1440p, 1080p, 720p, 480p, 360p, and MP3 audio with cover art and tags. Output is MP4 in H.264 wherever a site offers that resolution in H.264, so files play on Windows, phones, and in messaging apps without hunting for a codec. Where the highest resolution exists only in a newer codec, Riplox takes the resolution rather than handing back a smaller file.
  • Second quality aimed at re-uploading. For situations where the largest possible file matters more than universal playback, the app offers a second quality target. The app states this clearly before the choice is made, so the user knows the trade-off in advance. This route selects the biggest file available rather than the one that plays everywhere.
  • Playlist and channel section download. A playlist or a channel section can be downloaded in one click. The selection can be filtered by title, sorted by length, limited to the first N items, or inverted. The queue runs several downloads at once and survives a restart, so progress is not lost when the app closes.
  • Resume and network recovery. Changing Wi-Fi does not fail a download. Riplox waits for the network and carries on. A download that stops part-way retries on its own. A download that goes quiet for fifteen minutes is stopped and reported, rather than sitting on a downloading state all day.
  • Portable build with self-contained data. The portable build unzips anywhere, and everything Riplox saves, including settings, history, the queue, and the phone pairing, stays in a Data folder beside the program. Nothing is written anywhere else on the PC. This makes it suitable for USB sticks and machines where no installation footprint is wanted.
  • Browser extension for link sending. Shipped in the folder beside the app, a browser extension sends a link from a video page to Riplox in one click, with no copying. Settings shows the location of the extension and the steps to load it.
  • Subtitles, chapters, and SponsorBlock segments. Where the source site provides subtitles, chapters, or SponsorBlock segments, the app can include them in the download. A clip can be trimmed without re-encoding the whole file, saving time and preserving quality.
  • Home box for sealed text. The Home box takes text as well as links. A key, a password, or a Wi-Fi code can be pasted there and stays sealed until copied. Riplox asks its own questions instead of a browser warning with an address in it.
  • Self-updating download engine. The download engine updates itself from inside the app. When a site changes how it serves video, a new release of Riplox is not required. For YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook there is a second route the app takes on its own when the first is refused.
  • Plain hardware compatibility check. Setup states plainly when a PC is too old, rather than installing something that cannot start. This avoids a broken installation on unsupported hardware.
  • Custom keyboard shortcut. A keyboard shortcut can be chosen by the user for quick access to a primary action. This removes the need to reach for the mouse during repeated tasks.

Riplox began as a private tool built by xniper to solve a specific gap in existing Windows downloaders: a phone could not reliably hand a link to a PC without opening ports, installing server software, or trusting a third party with plaintext URLs. The first working version ran in 2022 as a small CLI helper that held one encrypted request. The desktop application with the share-sheet pairing followed, and the Android sender app was added later. Development stayed focused on keeping the phone link encrypted, the queue persistent, and the engine self-updating. The program is written in C# for the Windows desktop, with the download core relying on yt-dlp and FFmpeg. The project is licensed under GPL-3.0.
