SoundBridge

🎧 SoundBridge

SoundBridge lets you download audio from videos directly into your self-hosted music library, without copy-paste, external websites, or cloud services.

Everything runs locally on your infrastructure.

Key Features: 🎵 Download audio from YouTube videos 📁 Save directly into existing or new music folders 🧠 Smart folder caching (no unnecessary API calls) ⚡ Asynchronous downloads with real-time logs 🖥️ Clean Material-style UI (dark mode by default) 🔐 API-key protected backend 🧩 No ads, no tracking, no analytics

How It Works

SoundBridge is composed of:

• A browser extension (this)
• A self-hosted backend API
• A yt-dlp container running on your server
• Your existing media server (Jellyfin, Navidrome, ecc...)

• Detects the current video
• Sends a request to your backend
• Downloads and converts audio server-side
• Saves it into your media music library folder

🔐 Privacy-First & Self-Hosted

SoundBridge is designed with privacy as a core principle:

• No tracking
• No telemetry
• No analytics
• No data collection

The extension communicates only with the backend you configure. You stay in full control of your data.

⚙️ Requirements

To use SoundBridge, you need:

• A self-hosted server (local machine, NAS, or VPS)
• Jellyfin, Navidrome, Gonic, ecc.. installed and configured or a simple SAMBA folder exposed
• Docker (for yt-dlp & Node.js backend)
• The SoundBridge backend API (open source)

Setup instructions are provided in the GitHub repository. SoundBridge is free and open source.

You can:

• Inspect the code
• Host it yourself
• Modify it to fit your workflow
