Downie 4 4.12.11 Overview

Downie is a video downloader for Mac which allows you to download videos from online sources to a Mac’s hard drive for offline viewing, editing or archiving. It supports over 1,000 different websites including YouTube, Vimeo, Bilibili, Youku, and many others with that number continuing to grow as the developer adds support for additional sites based on user requests. Simple download Just drop a video URL or drag a link into the app and Downie will do the rest, automatically identifying where the video is from and preparing it to download, no complicated set-up needed. For YouTube in particular, Downie supports resolutions up to 4K, and users can choose to download full video with audio, or extract audio only when the sound is all that’s needed. For example, the built-in Post-Processing feature can automatically convert downloaded videos to MP4 for iPad or iPhone compatibility, so you won’t have to use a separate conversion tool after downloading. Downie also supports iCloud sync so your download history is the same across multiple Macs. Downie is distributed from the Charlie Monroe Software website (and from a third-party marketplace within the EU), not the Mac App Store, because Apple’s App Store guidelines don’t allow apps that download video from sites such as YouTube.

Key Features

1,000+ websites supported Downie supports a wealth of video hosting sites including YouTube, Vimeo, Bilibili, Youku and hundreds more. New site support is added regularly depending on how quickly the developers respond to user requests. 4K Video Compatible Downie unlike many basic video downloaders supports YouTube video downloads up to 4K resolution so that the high quality footage is kept instead of resorting to compressed, lower resolution output. Download Audio Only Choose to download just the audio track from a video instead of the full file, useful for music, podcasts, or any content where video isn't needed. Automatic Postprocessing Set up post-processing rules to automatically convert downloaded videos to formats like MP4 for playback on iPad or iPhone, so you don't have to convert every download by hand. Drag & Drop Browser Integration Download videos by pasting a URL or dragging a link directly into the app, with browser integration streamlining the process of sending links from Safari or other browsers straight to Downie. Custom Styles for Names Custom file naming schemes for your downloaded videos will help you organize your ever-growing collection of saved files. iCloud Syncing Sync download history across multiple Macs using iCloud, keeping a consistent record of what's been downloaded regardless of which machine is being used. Custom Download Location But first, select a single location on your hard drive for your downloads, not some default location that never changes. Queue Management and Priority Flags Set priority flags on downloads, and have more precise control when cancelling multiple queued downloads.
