How It Works
No complicated setup. No browser extensions. Just download and go.
Navigate to any video site using the built-in browser. YouTube, Vimeo, Twitter, TikTok, and thousands more.
Videos are detected automatically. Just click the download button that appears on any video thumbnail.
Your video is saved locally on your Mac. Keep it in regular storage or lock it in the encrypted vault.
Features
Built natively for macOS with privacy and performance in mind.
Browser
A full-featured browser built right into the app. No need to copy-paste URLs or juggle between apps. Open multiple sites with tabbed browsing, stay logged in with cookie support, and download age-restricted or subscriber-only content.
Detection
Videos are detected automatically as you browse. Download buttons appear on thumbnails, right-click any video link, or paste URLs directly.
Downloads
Queue up downloads and let them run in the background. 10 concurrent downloads, live progress, duplicate detection, and one-click retry.
Security
Optional password-protected encrypted storage for your downloads. AES-256 encryption with Touch ID unlock. Your videos, locked away from prying eyes.
Platform
Built with Swift and SwiftUI. Fast, lightweight, and optimized for Apple Silicon. Full keyboard shortcuts, dark mode, and Finder integration.
Privacy First
The Secure Vault is an optional encrypted storage container that only you can access. Using the same AES-256 encryption trusted by banks and governments, your videos are completely protected.
Military-grade encryption protects every file in your vault. The same standard used by banks and governments worldwide.
Quick access with your fingerprint. No need to type your password every time - just touch and go.
Vault locks automatically when your Mac sleeps, the screen locks, after inactivity, or when you quit the app.
The encrypted vault doesn't appear in Finder when locked. Your private content stays completely hidden.
Everything stays on your Mac. We never see your downloads, we never store your data, we don't even have servers to do so.
Protected with AES-256

FAQ
Downloading videos for personal use is generally legal in most jurisdictions under fair use / personal backup provisions. However, redistributing copyrighted content is not. Always respect content creators' rights and the terms of service of the platforms you use.
StreamStow includes 3 free downloads so you can try the full app before purchasing. All features are available during the trial, including the encrypted Secure Vault. Once you've used your 3 free downloads, a one-time payment of $29 unlocks unlimited downloads for life.
By default, downloads are saved to your Downloads folder. You can change this in preferences. If you use the Secure Vault, encrypted files are stored in a protected container in your Application Support folder.
The Secure Vault uses AES-256 encryption with your password as the key. For security, we cannot recover your password. However, if you enabled Touch ID, you can use your fingerprint as long as you haven't quit the app since setting up the vault.
StreamStow uses yt-dlp, which supports over 1000 sites including YouTube, Vimeo, Twitter/X, TikTok, Instagram, Reddit, Twitch, Facebook, and many more. If it's a mainstream video platform, there's a good chance it's supported.
No. StreamStow operates entirely on your Mac. We don't have servers to receive your data, we don't track your downloads, and we don't collect analytics. Your videos and browsing history stay on your machine.
Regular downloads are standard video files that can be moved anywhere. Encrypted vault files need to be unlocked first, then you can export them as regular files to transfer to other devices.
