Downie

Grab videos from the internet

Macs are getting mightier and can store much more stuff than before. Which means more space for videos! Here are the top three use cases for a video downloader on Mac. 

Pre-download videos when you go on a trip 

Downie works fast. Drop a link onto it, and it will download your video faster than any other tool.



This is a massive perk for folks like me, who always remember they haven’t downloaded any videos to watch on a plane last minute. With Downie, you can use those last few minutes to download hours of video to your Mac!

Save memories beyond social media

Instagram and Facebook are great tools to curate your memories, but they are not 100% reliable. Downie can help save your precious videos from socials to Mac. 



This method also works great for stealing your friends’ Instagram memes — just make sure they are aware! 

Download videos to edit them on your Mac

Downie is a fantastic addition to a video-making toolkit. It’s easy and quick to save your video from Vimeo or any similar platform. Downie has some post-processing features built-in — for example, you can extract audio from video. Other than that, you can use Downie as an easy way to import your videos from the internet to your Mac video editing software.  



Hope this use case will help you solve tasks faster, and enjoy solving them, too! Check out more use cases picked for you below.
