Downie is the one-stop-shop for internet video downloading

I remember way back when the first video iPod was released way back in 2005. It was a trip to be able to walk around with movies and video clips in my pocket. It was also a PAIN to get any videos downloaded from the internet at that time.

I spent lots of time digging around source code and using crappy shareware apps to scrape videos from websites and it never was a pleasant experience. Nowadays, there are many other options to download videos for offline use. Kids today have it so much easier than we did back then. One of these options is Downie, a Mac app that helps users save videos from the Internet.

About Downie

Downie is an all-in-one media scraping tool that was specifically designed to identify and download videos from online services such as YouTube. The description from Setapp reads:

Find a video you want to download, then drag and drop the link into the app, or take advantage of a Downie browser extension doing it for you. That’s literally all it takes to get that
