Build From Source

See BUILDING.md for the pinned toolchain, dependency versions, input hashes, and build command.

Privacy and Security

Settings and history are stored locally beside the executable under getrip/data/. GetRip sends URLs to the destination service through yt-dlp and loads media thumbnails returned by that service. It does not include analytics or telemetry.

Security reports are handled as described in SECURITY.md.
