Quiz The Spire

Windows SmartScreen warns about unsigned software. Code-signing certificates cost ~$200/year, which isn't feasible for a free, solo-developed project. The app is 100% open-source under the GPLv3 license - you can inspect every line of code on GitHub.

To run: click "More info" → "Run anyway."

The app uses yt-dlp to support 1,800+ sites including most major video platforms, social media, and public audio hosts. Sites with DRM (Netflix, Disney+, Spotify) are not supported. Some sites (like HiAnime.to) require you to provide browser cookies - see Settings in the app.

You can convert to a wide variety of formats grouped by category:

• Documents: PDF, EPUB, DOCX, HTML, TXT, CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, MD
• Images: PNG, JPG, BMP, GIF, TIFF, WebP, ICO
• Archives: ZIP, TAR.GZ, CBZ
• Media: MP3, WAV, AAC, FLAC, OGG, MP4, MKV, WEBM

Yes, completely. All file processing happens locally on your machine. The app makes no network requests except to fetch media from the source URL. No analytics, no tracking, no cloud processing. Your files stay yours.

Yes. The full source code is available on GitHub under the GPLv3 license. You can audit, fork, and modify it freely. There are no ads, no premium tiers, and no hidden costs.

Fixed YouTube downloads failing with "the page needs to be reloaded". The app was forcing --extractor-args youtube:player_client=tv,web on every download under the belief that the tv client avoids YouTube's SABR-only streaming experiment. Live verification (2026-09, yt-dlp 2026.08.19, Deno 2.9.6) proved it now causes the failure it was meant to prevent: the tv player response returns UNPLAYABLE, and the web client's https formats are skipped as "missing a URL" (YouTube is forcing SABR streaming for that client, yt-dlp#12482). The override is removed; downloads now use yt-dlp's default client order. Verified via bisection on the affected Windows machine and independently confirmed against yt-dlp#12482 and an Arch Linux forum thread - the tv client specifically is affected, not just web.

Tab-switcher screenshot thumbnails were stretched to 16:9 at decode time. The tab-switcher's Image.memory and Image.file passed paired cacheWidth: 640, cacheHeight: 360 decode hints. A browser page's rendered viewport has no guaranteed aspect, so non-16:9 pages were pre-stretched at decode time. Dropped cacheWidth, kept cacheHeight: 360 (aspect-preserving).

All thumbnail sites passed paired cacheWidth+cacheHeight decode hints sized to the display box. instantiateImageCodec scales to exactly those dimensions without preserving the source image's own aspect, so square or portrait thumbnails were pre-stretched at decode time. Decode hints are now height-only (aspect-preserving) at every site - the now-playing hero card and the mini-player bar are both fixed.

The playlist "Missing" tab was going stale after downloading missing tracks. Download Selected only queued downloads and returned immediately, and nothing ever re-ran the folder compare afterwards. The playlist screen now listens to AppController and moves tracks Missing → Matched in memory immediately when a queue item reaches completed.

The catch block wrapped both the self-update call and the post-update retried download, hiding the fact that a current yt-dlp still can't extract the video. The two outcomes are now reported distinctly.

Downloads are now fully fixed on low-end hardware. Verified 800 downloads without any issues, with 10 consecutive downloads active at once. This quality assurance proves the app handles heavy workloads reliably on modest machines.
