privacy policy
^
cobalt's privacy policy is simple: no data about you is ever collected or
stored. zero, zilch, nada, nothing.
what you download is your business, not mine.

some non-backtraceable data does get temporarily stored when requested download
requires live render. it's necessary for that feature to function.

in that case, salted sha256 hash of your ip address and information about
requested stream are temporarily stored in server's RAM for 2 minutes. after 2
minutes all previously stored information is permanently removed. hash of your
ip address is used for limiting stream access only to you.
no one (even me) has access to this data, because official cobalt codebase
doesn't provide a way to read it outside of processing functions in the first
place.

you can check cobalt's github repo yourself and see that everything is as
stated.
powered by hop.io
what's new?
current version & commit

5.4: instagram support, hop, docker, and more!
something many of you've been waiting for is finally here! try it out and let me
know what you think :)

tl;dr:
• added experimental instagram support! download any reels or videos you like,
and make sure to report any issues you encounter. yes, you can convert either to
audio.
• fixed support for on.soundcloud links.
• added share button to "how to save?" popup.
• added docker support.
• main instance is now powered by hop.io.

service improvements:
• added experimental support for videos from instagram. currently only reels and
post videos are downloadable, but i'm looking into ways to save high resolution
photos too. if you experience any issues, please report them on either of
support platforms.
• fixed support for on.soundcloud share links. should work just as well as other
versions!
• fixed an issue that made some youtube videos impossible to download.

interface improvements:
• new css-only checkmark! yes, i can't stop tinkering with it because slight
flashing on svg load annoyed me. now it loads instantly (and also looks slightly
better).
• fixed copy animation.
• minor localization improvements.
• fixed the embed logo that i broke somewhere in between 5.3 and 5.4.

internal improvements:
• now using nanoid for live render stream ids.
• added support for docker. it's kind of clumsy because of how i get .git folder
inside the container, but if you know how to do it better, feel free to make a
pr.
• cobalt now checks only for existence of environment variables, not exactly the
.env file.
• changed the way user ip address is retrieved for instances using cloudflare.
• added ability to disable cors, both to setup script and environment variables.
• moved main instance to hop.io infra. there should no longer be random
downtimes. huge shout out to the hop team for being so nice and helping me out
:D

i can't believe how diverse and widespread cobalt has become. it's used in all
fields: music production, education, content creation, and even game
development. thank you. this is absolutely nuts.
if you don't mind sharing, please tell me about your use case. i'd really love
to hear how you use cobalt and how i could make it even more useful for you.

a256159: 5.5: vine support and bug fixes
- added support for vine archives
- fixed ability to download muted videos from tumblr

help me keep it up

cobalt does not (and will never) serve ads or sell your data, therefore it's
completely free to use. but turns out developing and keeping up a web service
used by over 80 thousand people is not that easy.

if you ever found cobalt useful and want to keep it online, or simply want to
thank the developer, consider chipping in! every cent helps and is VERY
appreciated :D
