## Description

🎧 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:
<ul><li>A browser extension (this)</li><li>A self-hosted backend API</li><li>A yt-dlp container running on your server</li><li>Your existing media server (Jellyfin, Navidrome, ecc...)</li></ul>
The extension:
<ul><li>Detects the current video</li><li>Sends a request to your backend</li><li>Downloads and converts audio server-side</li><li>Saves it into your media music library folder</li></ul>
No third-party servers are involved.

🔐 Privacy-First &amp; Self-Hosted

SoundBridge is designed with privacy as a core principle:
- No tracking
- No telemetry

- No data collection

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