Your phone can now hand a link to your PC, Riplox can watch a channel for new
videos, and every screen has been rebuilt with a light theme.

Send to Riplox

Pair a phone once, then share a link to it from any app — the download starts
on your PC, on your connection and your disk.

Your PC never opens a port. It dials out and holds one request open, so
nothing on the internet can reach the machine. Messages are AES-GCM with a
nonce and a timestamp: the relay carries them without being able to read them,
and a captured message cannot be replayed. Only a link travels, never a video.

The phone makes its own key while pairing, so the pairing code is spent the
moment it is used — a code left in a chat afterwards opens nothing. Codes last
two minutes and work once.

Each paired device can be paused, renamed, limited (per day, largest file,
total GB, quality cap, which sites), given a folder of its own, or removed.
A removed phone is told it was removed instead of being left guessing.

On Android there is also Riplox Send, an 89 KB app that takes a share
without opening anything at all. Both it and the web page are offered from the
pairing screen.

Watch a channel or playlist

Riplox checks what you follow and tells you what is new. It never downloads
by itself.

Repeated automated requests are exactly what sites answer with "are you a
bot", so this is kept small on purpose: the newest 30 items, one check at a
time, at least 90 seconds apart, once every 12 hours per item. The screen says
all of that before it can be switched on, and carries the fix if it happens.

Also new

  • Pause and resume a download properly, and a speed limit
  • Audio converter — MP3, M4A, OPUS, FLAC, WAV, remuxed rather than
    re-encoded when the codec already fits
  • Channel links open their sections: Videos, Shorts, Live
  • One library with search, sort and a filter per site
  • Playlist sorting — by length or name, take the first N, invert
  • Drag a link onto the window, or paste twenty at once
  • Trim by timestamp, subtitles, chapters, SponsorBlock, download archive
  • MP3 files now carry cover art and tags instead of arriving bare
  • Export and import settings, export your links as txt, csv or json
  • Light and dark, or whichever your system is using
  • Update check — tells you a new version exists and never installs anything
  • AI-upscaled video is handled honestly. YouTube invents higher
    resolutions for old uploads; Riplox skips them by default, and if you turn
    them on the quality reads 1080p · AI-upscaled from 480p

Fixes

  • Stop and Cancel never really stopped anything. yt-dlp relaunches itself
    as a child process and only the parent was being killed, so the download
    quietly finished anyway. Broken since Cancel was written.
  • Choosing a different quality overwrote the file you already had
  • Settings could silently fail to save while a second copy was running

Install

Riplox_Setup_v1.1.0.exe — installs for the current user, no administrator
rights needed.

SHA-256: 13C1F38984BF310AA69008799EEC9D863FFFC3C1A2A8106F2843197D5EEB8581

The installer is not code-signed, so Windows may show "Windows protected your
PC" the first time: More info → Run anyway. Requires Windows 10 or 11 with
the Edge WebView2 runtime, which is already present on Windows 11.
