What's cobalt?

cobalt is social media downloader with zero bullshit. It's efficient, easy to use, and doesn't bother you with ads or privacy invasion "consent" popups.

It preserves original media quality so you get best downloads possible (unless you change that in settings).

Translations

How you can help cobalt speak your language

Take English or Russian localization from this directory and use it as a base for your translation. Then simply make a pull request and it'll be out for everyone upon review!

What you should keep in mind:

  • Do NOT use formal language, that's boring and lame. Use informal language on all occasions.
  • Strings are ALWAYS lowercase unless it's an internal value like {ContactLink} or STRESSED LIKE THIS.
  • Keep translations as friendly and fun as possible.
  • Word-for-word translations from original language are not valid.
  • You can rephrase sentences as long as they keep the same sense.
  • You can add wordplays or puns if it feels natural to do so.
  • Even though I love cursing, keep that away from translations.
  • Be nice.

Setup script installs all needed npm dependencies, but you have to install Node.js and git yourself.

  2. Run setup script and follow instructions: npm run setup
  3. Run cobalt via npm start
  4. Done.
