Its embedding policy changed6 days ago

We hash the visible text on every check, so a redesign registers and a rotating advert does not. An app that has not changed in a long time is not necessarily abandoned — but it is a fact worth knowing before you depend on it.

What it does

A media downloader that takes a URL and returns the file. Its own description is blunt about the alternative: no adverts, no tracking, no paywalls. There is no account and no queue.

What people say

No reviews yet.

We would rather show none than invent them.

Embed this status

Put it in your README. It updates itself every time we check, and links to your verification record — evidence a stranger can read, not a page selling them something.
