9xbuddy

Download video, audio, images, subtitles, playlists, and batches from the desktop app.

9xbuddy reads a supported page or media link and shows the video, audio, image, and subtitle formats that source makes available. Use it for a single item, paste a batch, or import a list. A difficult page can be opened in the built-in browser, which is a Pro feature.

9xbuddy showing the available audio and video formats for a public-domain film on archive.org, with a checkbox on each row, a destination folder, and a Start download button
A Creative Commons film on archive.org after extraction. Tick the formats you want, check where they are going, and start. The formats shown depend on what the source provides.

What is in the desktop app

Six screens, in the order they appear in the sidebar.

ScreenWhat it is for
HomeExtraction. Paste one link, paste a batch, or type a search term
HistoryEvery attempt with a status - extractions, downloads and edits, including the ones that failed
DownloadsThe queue: what is transferring now, and what stopped
LibraryEvery file you have finished downloading, with collections, previews and editing
BrowserOpen a page inside 9xbuddy when a pasted URL is not enough. Pro only
SettingsTen pages, from appearance and folders to cookies, proxy and shortcuts

The feature map breaks each of these down and points at the guide that covers it.

Downloads and Library are not the same screen. Downloads is the queue and empties as transfers finish; Library is what you have. There is no "completed" tab - a finished file lands in the Library.

Only download media you own or are authorised to save. Site rules, account permissions, region restrictions, and available formats still apply.
