Swoop lives in your menu bar. Copy a link, press ⌥⌘Y, and it's yours — whole playlists, in parallel, as fast as your connection allows.
10 free downloads · no account · one-time price, yours forever · macOS 14+
Everything happens on your Mac — no uploads, no accounts, no middleman servers.
Press ⌥⌘Y in any app. Swoop drops down from the menu bar, clipboard link already pasted. Hit return, done.
Point Swoop at any channel and archive the whole catalog — videos, metadata, thumbnails, descriptions — into one organized folder. Re-runs only fetch what's new. Never lose your library.
Paste a playlist and Swoop expands it into every video, downloading several at once — each with its own live progress bar. SponsorBlock can cut the ads on the way in.
One click to mp3, m4a, or opus. Perfect for lectures, mixes, and podcasts you want offline.
Optionally uses your own browser login to save content you already have access to. Your credentials never leave your Mac.
Swift, not Electron. A few megabytes, no Dock clutter, no background bloat — it feels like part of macOS.
No tabs, no converter sites, no "please disable your ad blocker."
From any of 1,000+ supported sites — one video, a whole playlist, or a pile of links at once.
⌥⌘Y opens the window with your link ready to go. Pick quality or audio-only.
Saved straight to your Downloads folder at full speed. Reveal in Finder, play, done.
No subscription. No account. No ads.

Swoop is a tool for saving video and audio from over a thousand sites — intended for content you own, content that's freely or Creative-Commons licensed, and content you have permission to keep. Your own uploads, your team's footage, open-licensed lectures, your DJ sets: all perfect. Only download content you have the rights to keep.
Completely. Swoop runs 100% on your Mac. Downloads go straight from the source site to your disk — nothing passes through our servers (we don't have download servers). No accounts, no analytics on what you save, no telemetry on your library.
macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later, Apple Silicon or Intel. On first run Swoop offers a guided one-time setup of its open-source download engine (yt-dlp via Homebrew) — takes about a minute.
Apple doesn't allow this category of app. Selling direct keeps Swoop native, fast, and un-sandboxed — and it's why we can offer a real free trial and a one-time price.
30 days, no questions asked. Email support and it's done.
An independent developer. Swoop wraps the excellent open-source yt-dlp engine in a native Mac interface. Swoop is not affiliated with or endorsed by YouTube, TikTok, Meta, X, or any other platform.
