Currently supports over 1,000 different sites (including YouTube, Youku, Bilibili, Vimeo, etc.) and the number is rapidly growing.

Need your video in MP4 for your iPhone or iPad? Or want just the audio track? No problem, Downie can handle this for you automatically!
Sychronize Downie history over iCloud between your devices.
We respond to emails usually within 24 hours and often add support for requested sites in the next update which is usually released on weekly to bi-weekly basis.
Don‘t wait weeks for new sites to be supported, or bugs to be fixed! Downie is updated about once a week or two with new features, sites supported, etc.
Not only that Downie supports country-specific sites, it is localized into various languages. If your language is missing, contact us - we can offer you a free license in exchange for a translation.
Install a browser extension to send links to Downie from your browser with a single click.
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.
Yes, if you are in the EU. As Downie is not compatible with Apple's review guidelines, distribution of Downie relies on 3rd party marketplace which is only available within the EU. Downie is currently only distributed via Setapp Mobile.

There's a fairly extensive help book available via Help > Downie Help

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.
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.
