Why install the desktop app?
The web version is convenient. The desktop app is complete. Here's why serious users choose the install.
Browser session access
Platforms like YouTube and Instagram block our web servers. The desktop app runs on your machine and uses your own logged-in browser session to download — the same way you would manually.
Batch & automation
Drop a .txt file with 500 URLs and walk away. The desktop app handles the queue, retries, and concurrent downloads automatically. The web version does one at a time.
True 4K with audio merge
Many platforms serve video and audio as separate streams. The desktop app uses FFmpeg to merge them into a single perfect file. The web version's 4K is limited by what the server can process.
Transcripts & subtitles
Extract the full transcript of any video in 60+ languages as a clean .txt file. Research, content repurposing, accessibility — this feature simply doesn't exist in the web version.
Pause & resume
Long downloads can be interrupted. The desktop app saves progress and resumes exactly where it stopped — no re-downloading. Ideal for large files or slow connections.
1,872+ platforms
Powered by yt-dlp — the world's most comprehensive video extractor. If a video exists publicly on the internet, the desktop app can almost certainly download it.
Web version — confirmed working platforms
These are tested, reliable, no-install downloads directly in your browser.
Desktop app — requires install
These platforms actively block web servers. The desktop app handles them by running on your machine.
