One link in. A working library out.
Not a downloader.
A finishing room.
GrabIt takes the busywork between “I found it” and “I can use it” and turns it into one local workflow.
02 / REFINE
Turn raw media into usable parts
Clip exact ranges, find strong scenes, create vertical or square cuts, extract audio, and generate transcripts.
03 / USE
Find it again when work starts
Outputs file themselves by source and genre. Search spoken words, revisit history, and reveal anything in Finder.
One app. Three serious workflows.
Built for the part after inspiration.
Choose your lane. GrabIt reshapes the same local engine around what you need to make next.

The engine that refuses to stay broken
It fixes itself
before you have to.
Media sites change. Most capture tools wait for a future release—or quietly need Python, Homebrew, or a JavaScript runtime you were never told about. GrabIt ships complete, checks its engine daily, and when a capture fails it updates and retries on the spot.
01Daily engine checksFresh before the first failure.
02Automatic recoveryUpdate, retry, then tell you what happened.
03Nothing to installDownloader, media engine, and JavaScript runtime all ship inside the app.

SELF-HEALEDCapture complete
3.8sThe whole workbench
Six tools. One local library.
01 CAPTURE
Video, audio, clips, and batches.
Best-quality video with the audio always merged in, guaranteed-silent video, tagged MP3 or M4A, exact time ranges, and batch lists of links — every file is integrity-checked before it is called done.
02 SEARCH
Find before you capture.
YouTube, Music, free-to-reuse footage, channels, Wikimedia, and Openverse—results in about a second, all inside the app.
03 TRANSCRIBE
Search what was said.
On-device Whisper transcripts, summaries, and library-wide phrase search with exact timestamps.
04 ORGANIZE
A library, not a pile of files.
Automatic source and genre folders, reliable history, screenshots in named batches, and safe numbered variants.
05 FIND
Search what you can see.
Find local images, videos, and PDFs by filename—or by what is actually inside them: “cow,” “violin,” “person,” or words on the page.
06 LICENSED
Royalty-free by design.
A one-click Creative-Commons filter for footage, openly licensed image libraries, and an attribution file saved next to anything that needs credit. Vision search runs on-device; you approve every folder.
The boringly private difference
Your media is the product.
It shouldn’t become theirs.
GrabIt is a real Mac utility. The media processing happens locally; network access is used only to reach the sources you request, search their catalogs, fetch optional models, and check for updates.

Questions, answered plainly
Before you grab it.
GrabIt is built for lawful media capture and archive workflows—not access-control circumvention.
What exactly stays on my Mac?
Transcription, summarization, BPM and key analysis, scene detection, clipping, rendering, and Find’s image recognition and media index happen locally. GrabIt connects to the media sources you request, search providers, the optional Whisper model host, and its update feed.
Can Find scan everything on my Mac?
Only what you approve. Choose the media folders you want indexed, and GrabIt keeps them current as files change. Mark any file or folder “Never Show” to purge it from the index and block it from future results.
Which sources does it work with?
GrabIt supports broad yt-dlp-compatible sources, including YouTube, Vimeo, Instagram, TikTok, SoundCloud, Twitch, and many others. It also searches Wikimedia Commons and Openverse for openly licensed images. Source availability can change.
Does GrabIt bypass DRM, paywalls, or private access?
No. GrabIt is for media you own, created, licensed, or otherwise have permission to save. It does not bypass DRM or technical access controls. You remain responsible for source terms and applicable law.
Can it use my signed-in browser session?
Only when you explicitly enable the Chrome-login setting for content you are already authorized to access. It is off by default and does not change your responsibility to follow source terms.
What Macs are supported?
macOS 14 Sonoma or newer. GrabIt 1.20.0 is a universal app for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs and is notarized by Apple.
Is there a subscription or account?
The current launch build is free, with no account or recurring subscription. Download the notarized DMG directly, move GrabIt to Applications, and automatic updates keep it current.
