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 solely your business, not mine or anyone else's.

if your download requires rendering, then data about requested content is
encrypted and temporarily stored in server's RAM. it's necessary for this
feature to function.

encrypted data is stored for 90 seconds and then permanently removed.

stored data is only possible to decrypt with unique encryption keys from your
download link. furthermore, the official cobalt codebase doesn't provide a way
to read temporarily stored data outside of processing functions.

you can check cobalt's source code yourself and see that everything is as
stated.
terms and ethics

cobalt is a web tool that makes it easier to download content from the internet
and takes zero liability. processing servers work like limited proxies, so no
media content is ever cached or stored.

you (end user) are responsible for what you download, how you use and distribute
that content. please be mindful when using content of others and always credit
original creators.

when used in education purposes (lecture, homework, etc) please attach the
source link.

fair use and credits benefit everyone.

current version & commit

v.7.14· May 17, 2024
now helping over 1 million people monthly
yesterday, cobalt hit 1 million users around the world! it's an absolutely
insane milestone for us and we're incredibly grateful to everyone saving and
creating what they love with help of cobalt. thank you for being our friends.

in anticipation of 7 figure user count, we've revamped the cobalt codebase and
infrastructure to be faster and more reliable than ever. a combination of many
changes has resulted into incredible download speeds (up to 30 MB/s, as tested
by both developers in europe).

note: there's no backend instance in asia just yet, so if you're there, you
might experience average speeds *for now*. you can help us afford a dedicated
server in asia by donating to cobalt in the "donate" menu.

changes since the last major update

service improvements:
• youtube music support on the main instance is back!
• added support for pinterest images and gifs.
• cobalt will now use original soundcloud mp3 file when available.
• fixed a youtube bug that prevented some videos from downloading.

ui/ux improvements:
• cobalt web app is now fully optimized for ipad. you can add it to home screen
from share menu to make it act like a native app!
• majorly reduced vertical padding when viewing cobalt in mobile web browser,
allowing for more content at once. most noticeable on smaller screens.
• status bar color is now dynamic in the web browser on ios and web app on
android.
• web app on android feels way more native than before.
• filename style icons are no longer blurry in safari.
• changelog notification no longer overlaps with dynamic island on newer iphones
when cobalt is installed as a web app.
• fixed safe area padding.

other changes:
• added support for freebind, made by one of the cobalt developers.
• rate limit and max video length limits are now customizable through
environment variables.
• cobalt api now returns rate limit headers at all times.
• majorly cleaned up the codebase: removed unnecessary functions, rewrote those
that were cryptic and confusing. it's way more comprehensible and
contribution-friendly than ever before.
• moved the cobalt repo to our organization on github. everything stayed the
same and all old links link back to it.

note for instance hosters:
along with cobalt repo, the docker image also moved! please update the url for
it in your config along with watchtower args to include restarting containers
(just in case) as seen in updated docker compose example. we're mirroring
packages to old url for now, but it won't last forever.

that's it for now! hope you have an amazing day and share the 1 million
celebration with us :)

help it stay online

cobalt doesn't shove ads in your face and doesn't sell your personal data,
meaning that it's completely free to use for everyone. but development and
maintenance of a media-heavy service used by over 1 million people is quite
costly. both in terms of time and money.

if cobalt helped you in the past and you want to keep it growing and evolving,
you can return the favor by making a donation!

your donation will help all cobalt users: educators, students, content creators,
artists, musicians, and many, many more!

in past, donations have let cobalt:
• increase stability and uptime to nearly 100%.
• speed up ALL downloads, especially heavier ones.
• open the api for free public use.
• withstand several huge user influxes with 0 downtime.
• add resource-intensive features (such as gif conversion).
• continue improving our infrastructure.
• keep developers happy.

every cent matters and is extremely appreciated, you can truly make a
difference!

if you can't donate, share cobalt with a friend! we don't get ads anywhere, so
cobalt is spread by word of mouth.
sharing is the easiest way to help achieve the goal of better internet for
everyone.
