Downie

Downie lets you download from YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, Instagram, Bilibili, and over 1,200 other websites. If there’s video content on a web page, you can trust Downie 4 to save it onto your Mac.

No need to switch from the Downie app to your browser to search for the content you want. Type the search query into the app’s search field, and it will promptly find the video for you.

Unlike many other YouTube downloaders, Downie can handle even 4K resolution videos. That means you can download high-quality, high-definition 4K videos from YouTube or anywhere else on the web.

If you don’t need the entire video file, Downie supports audio extraction. Or, if you want all your videos in the MP4 format, you can set Downie to convert them automatically.

The Downie app is brilliantly simple: just copy-and-paste or drag-and-drop the video URL, and it will download automatically. Even if there’s text and other content on the page, Downie will detect the video and save it for you — all in a single click.

Downie 4 seamlessly integrates with Permute, a powerful media converter. To convert videos you’ve just downloaded to a different format or stitch parts of them into one file, just send them to Permute and pick them up in that app.
