The easiest way to download apps from GitHub. Paste a repo link, get the download.

Simply add dl after github in any GitHub repo URL:
github.com/... becomes -> githubdl.com/...

Try me!
https://githubdl.com/Vedinsoh/github-downloader

Or...

Go to githubdl.com and paste any GitHub repo link (e.g. https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian). You'll land on a clean page with the right download for your OS surfaced first.

Direct shapes also work:

• githubdl.com/{owner}/{repo} — latest releases
• githubdl.com/{owner}/{repo}/v/{version} — a specific version
• githubdl.com/{owner}/{repo}/v/latest — alias to the latest non-prerelease

• Auto-detects your OS from the User-Agent and surfaces the matching download as the primary action.
• Groups other-OS downloads in a collapsed section, so they're one click away.
• Hides unnecessary files, surfaces only actual program files.
• Beta toggle (?beta=show) for repos where the latest release is a pre-release.
• Share-link previews: /{owner}/{repo} URLs unfurl with an Open Graph image on Discord, Slack, Twitter, etc.

Server-rendered Next.js app deployed to Cloudflare Workers. Releases are pulled from the GitHub REST and GraphQL APIs, normalized into a small storage shape, and cached at three layers (a request-scope unstable_cache, a Cloudflare KV blob as the application source-of-truth, and OpenNext's R2 incremental cache). The asset classifier maps filenames to OS + architecture so the right download lands at the top.

Stack:

• Next.js 16 (App Router) + React 19 + TypeScript
• Tailwind v4 + shadcn/ui
• Zod 4 for input parsing and API shape validation
• Cloudflare Workers (Paid) via @opennextjs/cloudflare
• Cloudflare KV (releases blob), R2 (Next cache), D1 (tag cache), Durable Objects (revalidation queue), Workers Rate Limiting, Workers Analytics Engine
• pnpm, Vitest

The architecture, caching contract, and explicit out-of-scope list live in CONTEXT.md.

pnpm install
cp .dev.vars.example .dev.vars   # fill in GITHUB_TOKEN
pnpm dev                         # plain Next.js (no Workers runtime)
pnpm dev:worker                  # full Workers runtime via Miniflare

pnpm dev is fastest for UI work. KV and the rate limiter no-op in this mode. Use pnpm dev:worker to exercise the Workers bindings end-to-end.

Other commands:

pnpm typecheck   # tsc --noEmit
pnpm lint        # eslint
pnpm test        # vitest run
pnpm build       # next build

PRs are welcome. Please:

1. Read CONTEXT.md first — it covers the architecture, the caching contract, and the deliberate out-of-scope list (no search bar, no accounts, no release notes rendering, etc.).
2. Open an issue before larger changes so we can talk scope.
3. Run pnpm typecheck && pnpm lint && pnpm test && pnpm build before pushing.
