Deploy Pinchflat in one click installation.
Self-hosted YouTube media manager that automatically downloads new videos from your favorite channels and playlists with zero manual effort.
What you can build with Pinchflat
Pinchflat is a self-hosted YouTube content manager built on yt-dlp that automates downloading and organizing videos from channels and playlists. Set up a rule once — Pinchflat periodically checks for new content and downloads it automatically, with first-class support for Plex, Jellyfin, and Kodi libraries so your media center stays up to date without any manual work.
Running Pinchflat on your VPS keeps downloads running 24/7 without tying up your home bandwidth or computer. SponsorBlock integration skips sponsored segments, RSS feed generation turns channels into podcast feeds, and optional auto-deletion manages storage automatically as your library grows.

I'm incredibly happy with Hostinger's VPS hosting! Their uptime is consistently top-notch, keeping my site running smoothly. Whenever I've needed help, their technical support team has been quick, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful.
Everything is smooth and great with Hostinger, the AI chat bot + human chat, if AI can't resolve your question. Oh and them VPS is just fire, no ups and downs. Thank you dev team and everyone else involved. Keep it up 🚀
Finally a VPS hosting company that does it right! Well-priced. Excellent portal that respects their users' time. Seamless backups. Good support. Reliable. Feels rock-solid.
I reached out to Hostinger support after losing access to my self-hosted n8n instance, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Hostinger Agent and Mohammad from the support team were incredibly patient and thorough.
Many thanks to Carla for helping me with this N8N upgrade on my Hostinger VPS. Professional and knowledgeable, thank you again Carla.
Hostinger VPS is absolutely outstanding. It just always works. It is always fast and stable. Never down, never crashes.
The company is doing well, I am very happy with the specific services I use through them. Not as expensive as some places with really great VPS set ups and price plans.
