Snag

A fast download manager that lives in your browser.

Hover over a video and a Download button appears on it. Pick a quality and Snag saves it, properly named, at full speed. Whole playlists and seasons too, and every big download from your browser.

Free and open source, for Windows, macOS and Linux.

Snag's window: downloads with their progress, queues, subscriptions and categories

A button on every video

Every quality from 4K down, audio only, subtitles, and clips cut to the exact frame. Works on about 1,800 video sites and on any page that plays a video file or stream.

Full speed, and it resumes

Several connections per file, re-split as parts finish. Pause and resume any time, even after a restart or a dropped connection.

Your browser's downloads, handed over

Archives, programs, videos and documents go to Snag automatically. If Snag can't take one, the browser gets it back.

Many links at once

Right-click a page to grab its links, or paste a list. Snag sorts them, finds their real names and sizes, and downloads the ones you tick.

Subscriptions

Follow a channel, a playlist or a podcast. Snag checks for new ones every few hours and downloads them the way you chose.

Checksums

When the page or the server says what a file's checksum should be, Snag offers to check it, and to download it again if it doesn't match.

Playlists and seasons, in one go

Open a playlist, a channel, an album or a season, tick what you want, and choose the quality, the folder and how files are named. Episodes are saved as Show S01E03 - Title, in their own queue.

Send links from your phone

Scan a QR code once, and your phone can send links to Snag and follow your downloads over your home network. No app to install, no account.

Private by design

Snag runs entirely on your computer, and the extension talks only to the Snag app on the same machine. Once a day the app reads a small signed file from this website to learn of new releases. It sends nothing about you or your downloads.
