Excellent way to get short clips from the Internet.
I've been using this app for years to download videos/audio of the Internet to view or listen later. This app never disappoints.
Reliable, efficient, sleek. Does what it claims and more.
Love this app. It is so easy to paste in a link to a page with a video and then download the file.

Try the User-Guided Extraction for downloading images and content from sites not supported out of the box.
Set postprocessing to Audio Only to download just the audio.
The short answer is no - sorry. Apple doesn't allow apps that download videos from YouTube on the AppStore. Please use the purchase button on this webpage or directly within the app instead.

You can still happily use the version you already have, there just won't be any more updates. As Downie integrates with 3rd party services, this can mean that the integrations start breaking. If you wish to upgrade, please go to our Downie discount coupon generator. The upgrade offer does not expire.
As long as you use Downie for personal use only, you can install Downie on all of your devices. Note, however, that we limit your license's activation count to 3 activations - before reinstalling your computer or throwing it away, please, deactivate your license from Downie's menu. If you run into any issues that Downie complains about the license being used too many times, just contact us.
Contact us using the Support button directly in Downie, or using the Support button at the top of the page - chances are we will add the site in the next update.
Send us the link using the Support button directly in Downie, we'll look into it and possibly fix it.
