L'app desktop fa il lavoro pesante
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.
Perché è necessaria l'app desktop
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.

Motore di download nativo
Built on Rust + tokio, the desktop app bypasses browser download limits for maximum speed and stability on large files and live streams.
Unione flussi HLS / DASH
Downloads m3u8 and mpd playlists, fetches every segment, and merges them into a single MP4 — something a browser cannot do.
Conversione ed estrazione audio
Ships with ffmpeg: video to MP4, video to MP3, audio extraction, and remuxing — no extra software needed.
Ripresa ed elaborazione in batch
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.
Come comunicano i due componenti
The extension sniffs media. The desktop downloads and converts. They connect automatically via Chrome Native Messaging — a local, secure channel that needs no server.
