Download the video you're watching

Detect what’s already playing — direct links, HLS, DASH, or MSE — then save it with one click.

Three steps

Play the page, open the panel, download.

01

Play the page

Open the video you want. The extension watches what the player already loads.

02

See the list

Detected media appears with quality options when available.

03

Download once

One click. Segmented streams are assembled locally when needed.

Custom titles — pick from the page

Build a per-site rule by clicking page elements and fixed text. Preview the filename, then reuse it every visit.

  • Add Element parts by picking author, title, and more on the page.
  • Add Text parts for separators like “ - ”.
  • Save once per site — the list name updates automatically.
