Yatko
A GitHub enhancement tool created by independent developer Anurag Vallur. By substituting the domain name in a GitHub Release URL, it automatically detects the user's operating system and CPU architecture and matches the corresponding platform binary for download.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Yatko recently ranked 6th on the Product Hunt leaderboard.
Yatko's tagline is "The download button GitHub forgot to add."
Yatko converts repository addresses in the form github.com/owner/repo into download links by replacing the domain from github.com to yatko.app, allowing users to obtain a binary file adapted to their system with a single click.
Yatko automatically detects the visitor's operating system (Windows, macOS, Linux) and processor architecture (x86_64, ARM64, etc.), and selects the best-matching file from the project's latest Release assets.
With the same Yatko link, a Mac user clicking it will receive the macOS version, while a Windows user clicking it will receive the Windows version.
Yatko was created by independent developer Anurag Vallur.
Yatko is categorized under Developer Tools and GitHub on Product Hunt.
Because the naming conventions for Release assets vary across different projects, the accuracy of Yatko's automatic matching may fluctuate.
As a proxy download tool, users downloading binary files through a third-party domain need to establish trust in Yatko's relay process, which presents a security concern.
If GitHub officially adds a download button feature in the future, the survival space for such third-party tools will be significantly compressed.
