More than downloads.
A complete local content workflow.
From a link to a local file — then to searchable, summarized knowledge. Everything happens on your Mac.
Save video, audio, and subtitles
your way
Choose popular resolutions and formats, extract audio only, or keep subtitles — ready for editing and organization.
Transcribe, summarize,
and build mind maps
Turn video into text with a local model, then use the AI service you choose to pull out key ideas, create summaries, and build mind maps.
More reasons to choose SaveXTube
From the native foundation to the sources it handles, every detail serves the way you actually work.
Native Swift, Built for Mac
No Electron browser kernel, no bundled Chromium. SwiftUI interface, system keyboard shortcuts, menu bar integration, and automatic dark mode — fast, lightweight, and responsive.
Download from Telegram
Most download tools don't support Telegram at all. SaveXTube uses a Bot to directly download videos and files from channels and groups — just send a link and it saves automatically.
Batch Save Social Images
Download images in bulk from Xiaohongshu, X, Instagram, and Telegram. Save full-resolution originals without long-pressing each one individually.
Local AI.
More private by design.
Transcription and media organization can happen entirely on your Mac. Your original content does not need to be uploaded to an unfamiliar server.
Processed locally
No cloud upload
Privacy first
