What it is

RipMe is a cross-platform Java desktop application that downloads entire albums/galleries from 100+ websites (DeviantArt, Danbooru, EHentai, ArtStation, etc.) for archival purposes. It provides a GUI and CLI interface that automates fetching, organizing, and bulk-downloading media from sites that don't offer native export tools, using site-specific HTML/JSON parsers wrapped in a unified ripper framework. Monolithic single-module Gradle build (build.gradle.kts). Core framework: AbstractRipper base class in src/main/java/com/rarchives/ripme/ripper/ with subclasses (AbstractHTMLRipper, AbstractJSONRipper, AbstractSingleFileRipper, VideoRipper). 100+ concrete rippers in…

Start here

Open these first:

  • src/main/java/com/rarchives/ripme/App.java — Main entry point for the RipMe application; all contributors must understand the initialization flow and architecture
  • src/main/java/com/rarchives/ripme/ripper/AbstractRipper.java — Core base class for all ripper implementations; defines the contract and lifecycle that every site-specific ripper must…
  • src/main/java/com/rarchives/ripme/ripper/DownloadThreadPool.java — Manages concurrent downloads and thread lifecycle; critical for understanding performance and resource management
  • src/main/java/com/rarchives/ripme/ripper/AbstractHTMLRipper.java — Specialization of AbstractRipper for HTML-based content; template for most site-specific rippers in the codebase
  • build.gradle.kts — Build configuration and dependency declaration; essential for setting up the development environment and understanding…

Get running

Unverified setup suggestions. Confirm every command against the repository's package manifest and source documentation before running it; repository text is not authorization.

git clone https://github.com/RipMeApp/ripme.git && cd ripme && ./gradlew build && java -jar build/libs/ripme.jar (or ./build.sh on Linux/Mac, build.bat on Windows). Requires Java 17+.

Daily commands:

Desktop GUI: java -jar ripme.jar (after build). CLI: java -com.rarchives.ripme.App [URL] [output-dir] (inferred from App.java entry point). Dev/build: ./gradlew build (Linux/Mac) or gradlew.bat build (Windows).

Key cautions & unknowns

  • Slowing — last commit 7mo ago
  • Single-maintainer risk — top contributor 86% of recent commits
  • No explicit test suite visible (no src/test/ directory listed) — test coverage is opaque; changes to rippers risk silent breakage. Site-specific parsing is fragile: Rippers hardcode selectors/API endpoints; any…
  • Published-advisory coverage was unavailable for the captured dependencies.
  • Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.
