Description
Detect page media and save it with profiles, filename recipes, and site rules. Clipwell finds video and audio streams that the current browser tab has already loaded, organizing them into clear cards with quality pickers, filename templates, per-site rules, and a reliable download queue. Instead of presenting an overwhelming list of repetitive network requests or cryptic segment URLs, Clipwell consolidates media by title. It displays the video poster or still frame, allows you to choose your desired quality or format, previews the resulting filename, and provides clear explanations whenever media cannot be saved. Clipwell operates entirely on your device with zero telemetry, no user tracking, and no external account requirements. ================================================== KEY FEATURES ================================================== • Clean Media Cards: One consolidated card per video or audio title with a quality picker, rather than dozens of duplicate segment URLs. • Real Previews: Cards show the video poster, an actual captured video frame, or the page share image. • Transparent Diagnoses: Clear reasons when media cannot be downloaded (such as DRM encryption, page-only MSE blobs, ad hosts, or active site rules) instead of silent failures or infinite spinners. • Flexible Download Profiles: Built-in presets (Quick 720p, Archive Best Quality, Mobile 480p) or custom profiles to filter minimum resolution, minimum file size, or skip audio/stream files. • Filename Recipes: Automatic naming templates using dynamic tags like {title}, {quality}, {format}, {host}, {date}, and {time}. Preview names before saving. • Per-Site Rules: Easily set rules directly from any card or settings to allow, hide, or block media from specific hosts, or automatically apply a specific profile or naming recipe. • Later Bookmarks: Bookmark detected media to review or download later. Unsaved page bookmarks remember the watch page so you can return anytime. • Favourites List: Star items to keep quick reference links to favorite watch pages without downloading anything. • Resilient Queue: Manage concurrent downloads, pause, resume, cancel, or retry failed items. Downloads continue uninterrupted even if you close the original watch tab. • Fast Side Panel & Shortcuts: Open Clipwell as a popup or docked Chrome Side Panel (Alt+Shift+V). Save the best media match instantly via keyboard shortcut (Alt+Shift+D). • Local Privacy: No user tracking, no third-party analytics, no remote code execution, and no account required. All preferences, bookmarks, and site rules remain strictly on your local machine. ================================================== HOW IT WORKS ================================================== 1. Navigate to any website containing video or audio and start playback. 2. Click the Clipwell icon in your toolbar, press Alt+Shift+D, or open the Chrome Side Panel (Alt+Shift+V). 3. Clipwell detects media requested by the player, matches multiple qualities into a single card, and selects the best option according to your active profile. 4. Choose your preferred quality, preview the generated filename, and click Save. 5. Unencrypted HLS streams (.m3u8) are assembled directly into a playable video file (.ts or fragmented .mp4) inside the browser. 6. Track progress, pause, or cancel downloads directly from the built-in Queue dock. ================================================== FREE VS PLUS ================================================== Clipwell is completely free to use for saving page media. There are no advertisements, daily download limits, or forced speed throttles. An optional one-time Plus upgrade is available for power users: Clipwell Free: • Unlimited media detection and downloads • 1 active download slot (waiting files queue automatically) • 3 built-in profiles: Quick (720p MP4), Archive (Best quality), Mobile (480p MP4) • Up to 5 custom per-site rules • Unencrypted HLS (.m3u8) joining to .ts and fragmented .mp4 • DASH (.mpd) playlist URL copying • Later bookmarks and Favourites lists • Built-in ad-tracker hide list Clipwell Plus ($3.99 one-time purchase): • 4 concurrent active download slots • Unlimited custom download profiles (configure custom qualities, formats, size thresholds, and naming templates) • Unlimited per-site rules • Lifetime access on your Chrome profile with zero recurring subscriptions ================================================== WHAT CLIPWELL DOES NOT DO (LIMITATIONS) ================================================== • DRM & Encryption: Clipwell does not circumvent, decrypt, or unwrap DRM-protected streams (Widevine, FairPlay, PlayReady) or encrypted HLS streams (#EXT-X-KEY). Protected items are clearly marked with a lock icon and cannot be saved. • Closed Streaming Platforms: If a streaming player keeps media exclusively in memory without exposing a file URL or unencrypted playlist, Clipwell will honestly diagnose it as unsavable rather than generating corrupt files. • YouTube Video Extraction: Clipwell does not include proprietary YouTube scrapers, signature deciphers, or innertube extractors. • File Locations: Files are saved to your Chrome Downloads directory (or a chosen subfolder within Downloads), respecting standard Chrome browser security boundaries. Always respect the copyright and intellectual property rights of content creators. Use Clipwell only for media you have the legal right or explicit permission to download.
