Desktop-Engine

Die Desktop-App macht die schwere Arbeit

Browsers can detect media, but they cannot download HLS/DASH streams, merge video and audio, or convert formats. Those jobs all run in the desktop app — locally, at native speed.

Warum Desktop

Warum die Desktop-App nötig ist

The browser extension sniffs media resources and shows the UI. The actual downloading, stream merging, format conversion, and file management all happen in the desktop app — browsers simply cannot do this.

Native Download-Engine

Built on Rust + tokio, the desktop app bypasses browser download limits for maximum speed and stability on large files and live streams.

HLS / DASH-Stream-Zusammenführung

Downloads m3u8 and mpd playlists, fetches every segment, and merges them into a single MP4 — something a browser cannot do.

Konvertierung & Audio-Extraktion

Ships with ffmpeg: video to MP4, video to MP3, audio extraction, and remuxing — no extra software needed.

Fortsetzen & Stapelverarbeitung

Resume broken downloads, queue multiple tasks, and run them in the background while you keep browsing.

All processing is local. The extension and desktop app talk over Chrome Native Messaging — no media passes through any server.

Architektur

Wie die beiden Teile kommunizieren

The extension sniffs media. The desktop downloads and converts. They connect automatically via Chrome Native Messaging — a local, secure channel that needs no server.

Download-FAQ

Häufige Fragen zu Installation und Nutzung

The browser extension sniffs media resources (images, videos, audio) on web pages and provides the user interface. The desktop app is a background application that handles actual file downloading, format conversion (via built-in ffmpeg), and file management. They communicate automatically via Chrome Native Messaging protocol.
