OmniGet
OmniGet is a free, open-source app for downloading video, audio and files from websites, as well as torrents, magnet links and direct files. It supports more than 1,800 sites, including YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, Twitch, Vimeo and Bilibili. Video downloads can reach 4K; audio formats include MP3, M4A, Opus, FLAC and WAV, with subtitles available as SRT or VTT. Playlist, batch and subtitle downloads are supported. OmniGet uses yt-dlp and installs and updates yt-dlp and FFmpeg automatically. Its queue can resume interrupted downloads, retry with backoff and follow channels. The app runs on Windows, macOS and Linux, with browser extensions also available. Downloads stay on the user’s computer, and OmniGet reports no telemetry about downloaded content. It can download only content the user’s session can already open; it does not bypass DRM or paywalls. The GPL-3.0 app has no ads, account requirement or paid plan.
