Tidefetch — the download manager that lives in your terminal

Tidefetch is a keyboard-first terminal UI (TUI) for the aria2 download engine, built for people who live in a shell. The same static binary also serves a self-hosted web UI, so headless servers and homelabs get a browser dashboard on demand.

A TUI for your laptop. A web UI for your server.

Run it as a terminal download manager on your own machine, or run tidefetch serve on a NAS, VPS or Raspberry Pi and manage the same queue from any browser on your network.
