Features
Video Sharing
Share links from TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, and more. Videos are downloaded server-side via a pluggable download provider and re-hosted from your server. The host installs a provider from the Settings UI — no download tools are bundled with Scrolly.
How to share:
- In-app — Paste a URL into the add-video modal.
- Android share sheet — Share directly from any app (PWA share target).
- iOS Shortcut — Use the iOS Shortcut integration to share from any app.
Failed downloads can be retried from the UI.
Music Sharing
Share Spotify, Apple Music, or YouTube Music links. Scrolly resolves cross-platform links via Odesli so everyone can listen on their preferred service. Audio is downloaded and served with album art in a dedicated music player.
