Chinese video downloaders

This cluster comprises desktop and cross-platform tools for downloading, streaming, and archiving video content from Chinese platforms like Bilibili, Xiaohongshu, and Tencent Video. The dated history is thin, with only seven entries scattered from 2015 to early 2026, showing no clear pattern. The leading product by activity is cloudframe-downloader with 11 stars, followed by link-video-downloader-zhenxiangai with 5 stars.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
