A lightweight, local-first media collector. Streamlined yt-dlp downloading and fine-tuned offline playback.

What you actually get
Queue lives in a corner drawer with thumbnails that crossfade as jobs move. If something hangs too long, RuForge kills it and tells you why. Playlists land in their own numbered folder. Flip audio-only and the size preview is actually audio size, not a full video file playing dress-up.
Turn on audio-only and you get a real m4a, not a giant video stream squeezed into an audio file. Playback shows a full LED equalizer on the cover instead of a dead black box. Side waveforms move with the music while it plays.
Chapters from the yt-dlp sidecar become their own scrub pills. Hover one and you get a preview pulled from the sprite sheet ffmpeg built when you downloaded. Jump with prev/next, or Shift+arrow if you are in a hurry.
First play pulls segments and saves a sidecar next to the video. Intros, self-promo, music tangents, the usual categories. It learns what you skip versus what you sit through.
