DuckieTV as a Standalone Binary

DuckieTV is an application that takes care of TV-Show addicts by providing a personalized TV-Show calendar. DuckieTV ensures the information is always up to date and provides an integrated blocking resistant torrent search so that the download can be as easy as possible.

With the integrated DuckieTorrent client, users can connect DuckieTV to local Torrent client and be updated on the download progress without switching applications. Support is available for clients of µTorrent/BitTorrent, Aria2, BiglyBT, Deluge, Ktorrent, qBittorrent, rTorrent, Tixati, Transmission, tTorrent and Vuze.

As of v0.60, DuckieTV is finally becoming a worthy SickBeard competitor by introducing an automatic downloading of shows that have aired and translations into 18 languages (English, Deutch, Ελληνικά, Español, Français, Italiano, 日本, 한국어, Nederlands, Norsk bokmål, Português, Русский, Română, Slovak, Slovenščina, Svenska, Türkçe, 简体中文).

How can I get it?

DuckieTV can be installed as an application on Windows (7, 8.1, 10, 11), Linux (Debian based such as Ubuntu 15.10 and newer), and Mac OSX (10.15 and newer).
