govd

govd is an open-source Telegram bot for downloading media from various platforms. It works directly in chat: you send a link, the bot processes it and returns a file or a direct download URL. No separate apps or browser extensions are required.

Core features

The bot supports multiple content sources, organized as "extractors". Users can view the list of supported platforms inside the bot interface to understand which services are available and what type of media can be fetched.

Usage and interface

Interaction is based on simple messages and buttons. The usage button provides basic instructions and examples of supported links. After receiving a URL, govd automatically handles parsing and downloading, then sends the resulting media back to the chat.

Open-source and community

The full source code is available on GitHub, enabling audits, self-hosted deployments, and community contributions. A dedicated support community on Telegram helps with questions about configuration, usage scenarios, and potential issues.
