Our native app offers advanced features like importing media sources. This feature is exclusively available in the app - not in the browser.
Import from publicly accessible media sources (e.g. YouTube, Vimeo & 1800+ platforms)
Offline processing directly on your device
No file limits
Open-source (MIT License)
Windows, macOS, Linux
Why only in the app? Media import loads content directly to your device - without going through our servers. This keeps everything local and private. In a browser, this is not technically possible.
Use of the import feature must comply with the terms of service of the respective platforms and applicable law.
