Each one points to the page with the full details. ## Is OmniGet free? Yes. It is free and open source under GPL-3.0, with no paid tier and no ads. See [Introduction](https://getomniget.com/docs/intro). ## Do I need an account? No. There is no OmniGet account and no sign-in. You only sign in to the sites and services you choose, with your own accounts. See [Privacy in the app](https://getomniget.com/docs/privacy). ## Which sites does it work with? 1,000+ sites, through its own extractors and yt-dlp. Sites change, so a link that worked last month can stop working until yt-dlp is updated. See [Sites and engines](https://getomniget.com/docs/sites). ## Does it download DRM-protected videos? No. OmniGet does not break DRM or paywalls. It downloads what your own session can already open. See [Troubleshooting](https://getomniget.com/docs/troubleshooting#protected-content-drm). ## Windows or macOS blocks the app on first launch. Is something wrong? No. OmniGet has no paid code-signing certificate, so the system asks once. Check the hash on the [download page](https://getomniget.com/download), then follow the steps in [Troubleshooting](https://getomniget.com/docs/troubleshooting#first-launch-is-blocked). ## A download that used to work now fails. What do I do? Update yt-dlp in **Settings › Advanced › Dependencies** and try again. If the new version made it worse, roll back from the same row. See [Troubleshooting](https://getomniget.com/docs/troubleshooting#yt-dlp-is-missing-or-outdated). ## How do I download something that needs my login? Sign in on the site in your browser, then send its cookies to OmniGet with the [browser extension](https://getomniget.com/docs/extension) or import a `cookies.txt`. Only use your own accounts. See [Accounts and cookies](https://getomniget.com/docs/cookies). ## Do I need an AI provider to download? No. Downloading works without any AI. A provider is only needed for AI features such as summaries, transcripts and the AI video tools. See [AI provider](https://getomniget.com/docs/ai-provider). ## Can Claude Code or another AI tool use OmniGet? Yes. OmniGet runs an MCP server on your computer; a coding tool can ask to connect and you approve it in the OmniGet window. See [OmniGet as an MCP server](https://getomniget.com/docs/mcp-server) and [Local bridge and token](https://getomniget.com/docs/bridge). ## Is there a phone or web version? No. OmniGet is a desktop app for Windows, macOS and Linux. It is not an online service. See [Install](https://getomniget.com/docs/install). ## In which languages is the app? 12 languages. Translations come from the community on Weblate, and some are more complete than others. See [Languages](https://getomniget.com/docs/language). ## How do I report a bug? Copy the debug info or create a diagnostics file, then send it through the [contact page](https://getomniget.com/contact) with the link that failed. See [Troubleshooting](https://getomniget.com/docs/troubleshooting#debug-info).
