## What it is
YAAW is a pure HTML/CSS/JavaScript web frontend for controlling the aria2 download utility via its JSON-RPC interface. It requires no backend or server-side code—just a browser pointed at an aria2 instance with RPC enabled.

## Use cases
- manage aria2 downloads from a browser
- add urls and torrents to aria2 remotely
- monitor active paused and stopped download tasks
- control aria2 over websocket -rpc
- self-hosted download manager frontend without installing a server

## When to choose
- you already run aria2 and want a lightweight browser UI
- you want a frontend with no backend or server-side dependencies
- you need to control aria2 from any device with a browser

## When to avoid
- you need a full download manager rather than an aria2 frontend
- you want persistent settings or task history without configuring aria2 session saving
- you need a modern actively developed UI with recent features

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: gui, http-client, developer-tools
- domain: web-development, developer-tools, self-hosted
- platform: browser, cross-platform
- tags: aria2, webui, download-manager, -rpc, frontend-only, no-backend, web
