README

schlonk

Small CLI to grab videos from Bluesky, X, and TikTok posts.

Yeah, I know yt-dlp exists. I just never remember where I put it. And the online "download this video" sites dump ads and viruses on you. So I vibe-coded my own.

Use

schlonk <post-url>

Saves the video in the current directory. Override the path with -o:

schlonk -o clip.mp4 <post-url>

Install

go install github.com/crux/schlonk@latest

Single Go binary, lands in ~/go/bin/schlonk. Or build from source:

git clone https://github.com/crux/schlonk
cd schlonk
go build -o schlonk .

Cross-platform. Packages and a brew formula might come later.

Supports

• Bluesky
• X / Twitter
• TikTok

Public posts only. Login-gated stuff (LinkedIn, Instagram) maybe later, we'll see.
