APK source:
icon Unfurlit extracts media from supported social-media links locally and opens it in a
native Android viewer. Share a link to Unfurlit, choose it from Open With, or paste a
URL in the app.

Videos and audio stream without creating a permanent user-visible download.
Images support zoom and pan, galleries support swiping, and videos support
portrait-aware sizing and immersive fullscreen playback. Videos can continue in
a picture-in-picture window, and videos and audio keep playing in the background
with notification and lock-screen controls.

Supported links and media:

- YouTube: videos and Shorts.
- Vimeo: videos, including unlisted links with an access hash.
- Instagram: videos, Reels, photos and carousels (no photo-post soundtracks).
- TikTok: videos and photo posts, including available photo soundtracks.
- Reddit: posts are currently blocked for signed-out apps; direct i.redd.it image links still open.
- X/Twitter: videos, photos and galleries.
- PeerTube: videos.
- Bandcamp: audio tracks.
- Tumblr: native videos, photos and mixed photo/video posts.
- Pixiv: public illustrations and multi-page artwork (no Ugoira animations).
- Imgur, Bluesky, Flickr and many other sites: photos and galleries.

Other sites may work too; audio and galleries depend on the source. Availability
varies by post, region and platform changes. Private, login-gated or restricted
posts may not open; signing in is not available.

Unfurlit has no ads, analytics, mandatory account, or project-operated backend. The
device still contacts the original platform and its media hosts, so viewing is
not anonymous. Some private, age-restricted, regional, or login-gated media may
require cookies and is not supported.

While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device.
