# The power of yt-dlp. No command line.

Paste a link from 1,000+ sites and pick the quality. OmniGet runs yt-dlp and FFmpeg for you, keeps them up to date and never leaves your computer. Free and open source.

[Download OmniGet for Windows, macOS or Linux](https://getomniget.com/download)

Windows 10+ · macOS 10.15+ · Linux · Free · GPL-3.0

127,000+ downloads on GitHub so far, and every download from this site is [counted in public](https://getomniget.com/stats).

Why OmniGet

## One app instead of five tabs.

You keep one site for Instagram, another for X videos, and a yt-dlp cheat sheet because the flags never stick. None of them remember your login.

Download sites come with ads and a new limit every week. The command line is fast, but you have to know every flag by heart.

OmniGet puts all of it behind one box. It runs yt-dlp for you, installs FFmpeg and keeps a queue that resumes, all on your computer.

### OmniGet compared with doing it by hand

#### Without OmniGet

You stitch it together by hand.

-   A different download site for every platform, each with its own ads
-   yt-dlp flags looked up again every time
-   Cookies exported by hand to save what you can already see
-   A failed download means starting over
-   Your agent guesses yt-dlp commands and gives up halfway

#### With OmniGet

Paste and move on.

-   One box for 1,000+ sites, torrents and direct files
-   Quality and format picked from a list, with the exact command kept
-   Your browser login, sent by the extension
-   A queue that resumes, retries and follows channels
-   Your agent queues the download and waits for it to finish

yt-dlp is the engine OmniGet runs on. OmniGet would not exist without it.

What is in the app

## One window.  
_Every kind of download._

### Paste any link.

Video, audio, image galleries, torrents and direct files go through the same box. Paste one link or a whole list, and OmniGet skips what it already has.

### Pick the quality and format.

Up to 4K, or audio only. Pick from the list of formats the site really offers, with the size of each.

### A queue that keeps going.

Pause, resume, reorder and retry. Interrupted downloads pick up where they stopped.

### Your browser, your login.

The extension for Chrome and Firefox sends the page you are on, with your own session, so what you can open downloads the same way.

### Torrents, magnets and direct files.

Open a .torrent or paste a magnet link and pick the files you want.

### Subtitles and SponsorBlock.

Subtitles embedded or beside the file. Sponsor segments cut or marked as chapters.

### Cookies per site.

Each site keeps its own login. OmniGet tells you when one goes stale.

### Channels you follow.

Follow a channel or playlist and new uploads download on their own.

### Your agent downloads for you.

Turn on the MCP server and Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code or Codex can queue a link, wait for it and tell you what failed.

Coming from something else

## Switching takes one paste.  
_Here is what changes._

-   ### From a download website

    The same paste, without the pop-ups. No ads and no daily limit, and the file goes straight from the site to your disk.

-   ### From yt-dlp in a terminal

    The same engine underneath, kept up to date for you. Pick a format from a list instead of remembering flags, and see the exact command that ran.

-   ### From another downloader app

    See how OmniGet compares with [Parabolic](https://getomniget.com/benchmark/omniget-vs-parabolic), [VidBee](https://getomniget.com/benchmark/omniget-vs-vidbee), [ytDownloader](https://getomniget.com/benchmark/omniget-vs-ytdownloader) and [Open Video Downloader](https://getomniget.com/benchmark/omniget-vs-open-video-downloader), or [every benchmark](https://getomniget.com/benchmark).

[Download for Windows](https://getomniget.com/dl/v1.0.0/omniget_1.0.0_x64-setup.exe) 

Free, no account. Every file has its SHA-256 on the download page.

Built for every OS

## Small and fast.  
_On every desktop._

### Rust and Tauri.

OmniGet is written in Rust and draws its window with the system's own web view. It starts fast and stays small, on Windows, macOS and Linux.

### Engines you can check.

OmniGet installs yt-dlp and FFmpeg for you, keeps them updated and checks yt-dlp's SHA-256 before it runs.

### One window, no account.

No sign-up and no server in the middle. Close the window and the queue keeps going in the tray.

### In your language.

The interface comes in 12 languages, translated by volunteers on [Weblate](https://hosted.weblate.org/engage/omniget/).

Privacy

## What you save is yours.  
_It stays on your computer._

-   ### No telemetry.

    The app does not report what you download, or that you opened it.

-   ### No account.

    Nothing to sign up for. Your settings live in a folder on your computer.

-   ### No ads, no paid plan.

    Free under GPL-3.0. Every feature is in the free app, because there is only the free app.

-   ### Check the hash.

    Every file on this site has its SHA-256 next to it. [How to check a file](https://getomniget.com/security#verify).

OmniGet only downloads what your own session can already open. It does not break DRM or paywalls; DRM-protected files are skipped.

Canvas

## Your agents, side by side.  
_On an endless board._

Open Claude Code and Codex in terminals on one canvas, connect them with a cable, and let them message each other. Notes, files and portals sit next to them.

Terminals · notes · portals · remappable shortcuts

## Questions people ask first

Is OmniGet really free?

Yes. It is free and open source under GPL-3.0, with no ads, no account and no paid plan.

Why does Windows or macOS warn me when I open it?

OmniGet is not code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen and macOS Gatekeeper ask for a confirmation the first time. The [Windows](https://getomniget.com/download/windows#first-launch) and [macOS](https://getomniget.com/download/macos#first-launch) pages show each step. To be sure the file is the real one, [check its SHA-256](https://getomniget.com/security#verify).

How is it different from yt-dlp?

yt-dlp is the engine and OmniGet is the window around it. OmniGet installs and updates yt-dlp and FFmpeg, keeps a queue that resumes and retries, reads your browser login through its extension and shows the exact yt-dlp command of every download.

Which sites does it work with?

The sites yt-dlp supports, which today means more than 1,000 working site families, plus its own extractors for sites like Instagram, X, Bilibili and Pinterest, torrents and direct files. The measured count and its date are on the [facts page](https://getomniget.com/facts). Download only what you have the right to save.

Is there a phone version?

No. OmniGet is a desktop app for Windows, macOS and Linux, and there is no Android or iOS version. Download it on your computer.
