TubeSync is a personal video recorder for YouTube, described as being like Sonarr but for YouTube. You add channels or playlists, and it downloads new videos on a schedule into folders that a local media server can index.
It runs as a Docker container with a web interface. It suits people who want YouTube content available in Plex, Jellyfin or a similar library, or kept for offline viewing.
