What happens to the links you paste

A URL you submit is sent to this application's own server, which uses yt-dlp to look up the video and list its available formats. The server needs the URL to do that; nothing else about you is attached to the request, and no account or identifier is involved.

The file you choose is then streamed through that same server to your browser. This is what makes downloading possible at all: a web page cannot read a platform's media URLs, and those URLs refuse cross-origin requests. Nothing is kept afterwards — temporary files created while combining video and audio are deleted as soon as the download finishes.

When the app runs in mock mode, no request leaves your browser at all — the sample data is generated locally.

The video tools

Converting, compressing, trimming, changing the speed of, making a GIF from, or grabbing a thumbnail out of a video you already have doesn't need a server, so none of those tools use one. Neither does recording your screen: the browser captures and encodes it directly, and the file only ever exists on your device. The file is decoded and re-encoded entirely inside your browser. It is never uploaded, and no request about it is ever sent anywhere — including while you're scrubbing through it to pick a range, preview a selection, or choose a frame.

The thumbnail generator goes one step further: capturing a frame is something your browser can do on its own, so it doesn't even load the conversion engine the other tools use.

History

Your history — downloads and everything made with the tools — is written to your browser's local storage on your own device. It is never uploaded, synced, or shared; the server handles one request at a time and keeps no record of what was downloaded, and it never sees the tool activity at all.

• Clearing your history from the History page deletes it immediately.
• Clearing your browser's site data also removes it.
• Using private browsing means nothing is kept once you close the window.

What else is stored locally

Only your theme preference (light, dark, or follow system). That is it — no analytics identifiers, no advertising cookies, no tracking pixels.

No account required

You never create an account, and you are never asked for an email address, a phone number, or any other personal detail.

The files you download

Files pass through the server on their way to you, because the platform CDNs will not serve them to a web page directly. They are streamed rather than stored: nothing is written to disk except the short-lived temporary file needed when a video's picture and sound arrive as separate streams, and that file is deleted immediately.

If this changes

A future version may add optional accounts and a backend (for example to keep provider keys secret or to sync history across devices). Anything like that would be opt-in, and this page would be updated before it ships.
