Project Idea/Review I made Maglev: an any link downloader for android (Torrents, links, videos)
My phone had three apps for one job: BitTorrent for torrents, ADM for normal links, and TorrentSearch to find torrents. I'd search in one, copy the magnet, switch to another, and for plain links switch to a third. All of them were heavy on ads and size.
I wanted one quick, clean app that stays out of the way, so I built Maglev.
- Torrents, normal links and videos from web pages in one app. The torrent engine is librqbit (Rust).
- Search 40+ sources at once (Knaben, Nyaa, YTS, EZTV, 1337x, Internet Archive and more).
- A built-in browser with tabs that detects videos, including HLS and DASH. Pick the quality and audio track and it saves one file.
- Stream while downloading, and follow a show or RSS feed so new episodes download on their own.
- An optional AI assistant that helps non-technical people pick the right file, without having to know WebDL from Telesync or EPUB from PDF.
- No ads, no account, no tracking. GPL-3.0, Android 7+, updates in the app or through Obtainium.
I use it every day. Tell me what breaks or what's missing.
