Cobalt is committed to providing a secure, open, and accessible platform for saving content from the web.
Cobalt is a web application designed to help users save various types of content from websites, including video, audio, photos, and GIFs. The application emphasizes privacy, security, and open-source principles.
Here are some of Cobalt's key features:
Content Saving: Users can easily save desired content by simply pasting the link into Cobalt.
Ad and Malware Protection: Cobalt is designed to protect users from ads, trackers, paywalls, and malware that may be present on other content-saving platforms.
Privacy Focus:
All requests to Cobalt's backend are anonymous, and tunnel information is encrypted.
Cobalt maintains a strict zero-log policy, meaning they do not track user activity.
On-the-fly processing ensures that downloaded files are tunneled directly to the client without being saved to disk.
Users can enable forced tunneling to further enhance privacy by obscuring download sources from network providers.
Open Community and Self-Hosting:
Cobalt fosters an active community of users who contribute to its development and improvement.
The application is open-source, allowing users to self-host it if desired.
On-Device Processing: Some of Cobalt's newer features, like remuxing, are performed locally on the user's device, further enhancing efficiency and privacy.
