About CatchCatch - Video Downloader (HLS, m3u8)

Download Instagram video, Instagram Reels, Facebook video, and X (Twitter) video as MP4. A privacy-first HLS / m3u8 / DASH video downloader that runs entirely on-device — no upload, no watermark. Works on most sites that stream video (not YouTube, not DRM or paywalled). CatchCatch saves video that the page you are viewing has already loaded. ■ Processed only on your device Segments are assembled into a single MP4 entirely inside your browser. The video never passes through our servers, and we do not send the pages you visit or the media URLs we detect. ■ Fragmented streams become one MP4 HLS and DASH streams are joined into a file that plays immediately. When several qualities are available, each is listed with its estimated size so you can choose. ■ Fast and small Segments download in parallel and no heavy conversion engine is bundled. The whole extension is under 1 MB. ■ What it does not do DRM-protected video, encrypted streams, and bypassing logins or paywalls are not supported and will not be added. Use it only for media you own or are permitted to save. ■ Pricing Five downloads per day for free. A Pass is available if you need more. Open source: mux.js (Apache License 2.0)
