## Description

KnightLoader is a self-hosted, cross-platform download manager that gathers files from hosters, debrid services, torrents, Usenet, videos and streams into one web interface. It routes each link to the right backend: your existing debrid service, a built-in torrent client, your own Usenet servers with par2 repair, yt-dlp for videos and streams, or an automatically configured headless JDownloader for the rest, and it appears to Sonarr and Radarr as a qBittorrent or SABnzbd client. Built for homelab users who want a modern, clean alternative to JDownloader on a server or desktop, with an Android app, a browser extension and encrypted remote access without a domain or port forward.

## Platform availability

Available on 1 of 9 platforms: Unraid.

## Common questions

### Can I install the Android app directly from Google Play?

The app is only in Google Play testing until enough testers keep it installed. You must join the tester group, become a tester, install it, and keep it for 14 days.

### Can I control multiple KnightLoader instances from my devices?

Yes. The Android app is a remote for every KnightLoader you run, and the browser extension can send a page, link, or Click'n'Load button to the instance you pick.

### Does KnightLoader require an account or paid tier?

No. It is free with no accounts, no ads, and no paid tier. KnightLoader collects nothing about you.

### How are updates handled?

It always downloads the latest build.
