PRIVACY
Your media stays on your computer.
Videx is local-first. It does not operate a download backend, user database, analytics service, or cloud storage.
What stays local
- Media URLs and metadata
- Cookies and other credentials
- Download queue and history
- Downloaded files and output settings
How the browser app connects
The public interface is static. When you run videx web, the connection token is carried in the URL fragment, which browsers do not send to the public host. The page communicates directly with the Videx companion at 127.0.0.1.
One optional network check
Videx can check GitHub Releases no more than once every 24 hours for a newer version. Disable this with VIDEX_NO_UPDATE_CHECK=1.
Voluntary support
If you submit a GitHub issue, review diagnostic output first. Never publish cookies, tokens, private URLs, or downloaded media.
