More than downloads.
A complete local content workflow.

From a link to a local file — then to searchable, summarized knowledge. Everything happens on your computer.

One link. Ready to go.

Copy a link and paste it into SaveXTube. The app recognizes the site and media details, then adds your chosen format to the queue.

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 desktop experience, no browser shell

The macOS app uses Swift and AppKit; Windows uses WinUI 3. There is no Electron browser kernel, and shortcuts, windows, and dark mode follow each platform.

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.

Transcribe locally.
Organize your way.

A local model can handle transcription without uploading the original media. For summaries and mind maps, use a model provider you trust.

One link, six ways
to start a download

Use the Download Bubble or browser extension at your computer. Away from it, send tasks home through WeChat, Telegram, a mobile shortcut, or an AI agent.

Floating Download · Bubble or Codex Pet

The default bubble and an installed Codex Pet have the same controls: drag a browser link onto either one, or copy a video URL and right-click to read the clipboard and start the job.

Browser Extensions · Safari, Chrome, and more

AI Agents · Let your agent download
