## What it is
ReClip is a self-hosted web application for downloading videos and audio from 1000+ sites (YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, etc.) using yt-dlp and ffmpeg. It provides a clean, framework-free web UI with MP4/MP3 output, quality selection, and bulk downloads.

## Use cases
- download youtube videos as mp4
- extract mp3 audio from tiktok videos
- bulk download instagram reels
- self-hosted video downloader with web ui
- save twitter/x videos locally
- convert soundcloud tracks to mp3
- download twitch clips

## When to choose
- you want a simple self-hosted downloader with a web interface instead of CLI tools
- you need bulk downloads with automatic URL deduplication
- you want a lightweight setup with minimal dependencies (Flask + yt-dlp)
- you prefer Docker deployment for a media grabber

## When to avoid
- you need a GUI desktop app rather than a browser-based one
- you require advanced yt-dlp options like subtitles, playlists, or post-processing not exposed in the UI
- downloading from platforms may violate their terms of service or copyright in your jurisdiction
