## What is cobalt?
cobalt aims to be the ultimate social media downloader, that is efficient, pretty, and doesn't bother you with ads or privacy invasion agreement popups.
cobalt doesn't remux any videos, so you get videos of max quality available (unless you change that in settings).
## What's supported?
- Twitter
- TikTok
- douyin
- YouTube and YouTube Music
- bilibili.com
- Reddit
- VK
## TO-DO
