Overview
The design goal here is a single action. Copy a link, press the paste button, pick a quality, and the file lands in a folder. Everything else the application does sits behind that one path, which is why it stays installed on machines where a more capable tool with a worse interface gets removed after a week.
Quality selection covers what is actually offered on the source rather than a fixed list, so resolutions up to 8K, high frame rate variants, and the separate high bitrate audio streams are all available where they exist. Video and audio are muxed into one file on completion, with a format choice covering the common containers and an audio only mode for extracting a track.
Playlist and channel handling is what the premium configuration is for. The free tier caps how many items can come from one list. This build removes that, adds the smart mode that applies one set of choices to every future paste without asking, and enables the subscription feature that checks a channel periodically and pulls anything new into the same folder.
Subtitles are handled properly, which is unusual in this category. Available caption tracks are listed per language, can be saved as sidecar files or burned into the video, and automatically generated captions are marked as such so they are not mistaken for authored ones.
What it does well
One action saving
Copy a link and press paste, the application reads the page, lists what is available and starts the download.
Full quality range
Every resolution and frame rate the source offers, up to 8K, with separate high bitrate audio streams where they exist.
Playlists and channels
Whole playlists and channels with no item cap, plus a subscription mode that periodically checks for new material.
Subtitles
Per-language caption tracks saved as sidecar files or burned in, with automatically generated tracks flagged.
Smart mode and queue
Apply one set of choices to every paste and let a long queue run unattended with a bandwidth cap and a completion action.

- Faster muxing on completion using the hardware path where available.
- Subscription checker rewritten to use less bandwidth when nothing is new.
- Queue editor gained drag ordering and per-item priority.

Before you start
Extractors break when a source site changes. If a link fails, it is almost always that rather than the install.
8K files are very large. Check the free space before queueing a playlist at maximum quality.
The subscription checker runs in the background and needs the application left open to work.
Questions about this title
Is there a playlist limit?
No, the cap that applies to the free tier is removed in this configuration.
Can it save audio only?
Yes, with a format and bitrate choice, extracted from the highest quality audio stream available.
Does it handle subtitles?
Yes, as sidecar files or burned into the video, per language.
Why did a download fail?
Usually a source site change. Extractor updates fix these, but this build is pinned to the version packaged here.
About this listing
This entry was checked on a clean install of Windows 7 / 8 / 10 / 11 before it was published, and it is rechecked whenever the package is rebuilt. The figures on this page come from the site index rather than from the publisher, so the download count is what people here have actually pulled.
If a mirror stops answering, use the contact form and it gets replaced. Reports about a specific title are handled faster than general messages because they name the file, the mirror and the point at which the transfer stopped.
Requests for a different version, a different language build or an older release go on the requests page. Older versions of a title are usually still held even when only the current one is listed.
