VidFetch

VidFetch is a video downloader with a real browser built in. Open a page, play the video, and VidFetch finds the media behind it - MP4 and other direct files, plus m3u8 / HLS playlists - then saves it to your device so you can watch it offline, on a plane, on bad data, anywhere.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Paste a link, or browse the web inside the app.
2. Tap Download. VidFetch lists every video the page exposes, with size and quality, so you pick the one you want.
3. It downloads in the background and lands in your Movies folder, visible in your gallery and in any other player.

BUILT-IN BROWSER, BUILT-IN SNIFFING
- Browse the site first, take the video after. No third-step apps.
- Reads the media the page itself loads, including segmented HLS (m3u8) with AES-128 encryption.
- Resource list with thumbnail, resolution and file size before you commit.
- Desktop / mobile site switch for pages that hide their player from a phone.

DOWNLOADS THAT ACTUALLY FINISH
- Multi-segment transfer: big files are split and pulled in parallel.
- Pause, resume and retry. Progress is written to disk, so an interrupted download continues where it stopped - even after a reboot.
- Keeps running when the app is in the background, with one quiet notification you can pause everything from.
- Wi-Fi only option, auto-retry with a limit you set, and a queue you control.

PLAYER AND LIBRARY
- Built-in player: no need to leave the app to watch what you just saved.
- Hold anywhere on the screen to fast-forward, drag the seek bar to any moment.
- Your library shows every saved file with a real cover image.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
- No account, no sign-in, no e-mail required, nothing to upload. There is no server of ours to upload to.
- Your download queue, link history and files all stay on the device.
- Permissions are only what a downloader needs: network, and media writing through Android's own MediaStore.

FREE, WITH A SPEED CHOICE
VidFetch is free and ad-supported. The free tier limits total download bandwidth; watch one short rewarded video to lift the cap for 45 minutes and get more parallel segments too. Ads never lock a feature behind a wall: you can always download without watching anything.

PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU DOWNLOAD
VidFetch only saves media that a page already serves openly to your browser, and it refuses DRM-protected (Widevine) streams outright - those are marked as protected and skipped. You are responsible for what you save: use it for your own offline viewing, and only download videos you own or are permitted to keep. Downloading content in breach of a service's terms, or redistributing other people's work, is not what this app is for.
