What makes the Safari downloader different
Every Safari quality, from 360p to 8K
yt-dlp reads the full format manifest from Safari, so you get the exact streams the platform serves — including 1080p, 1440p, 4K and 8K where available, with HDR and high-frame-rate variants preserved. Pick the format you want; the app merges the best video and audio with FFmpeg automatically.
Extract Safari audio as MP3, M4A or FLAC
Only need the sound? Grab a podcast, song, lecture or interview from Safari and convert it to MP3, M4A, Opus or FLAC at the highest available bitrate, with chapters and metadata carried over when the source provides them.
Playlists, channels and batches
Drop in a Safari playlist or channel URL and the app previews every item so you can select exactly what to download. Queue hundreds of videos and let parallel fragment downloading — four concurrent streams by default — saturate your connection.
Private and members-only Safari content
Import cookies straight from Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Brave or Safari to download age-restricted, region-locked or members-only Safari media you already have access to. Proxy support routes requests through any HTTP, HTTPS or SOCKS endpoint.

Using the desktop app (recommended)
