Signs in to Reddit when needed

Some Reddit posts need an account. Cliphaul opens Reddit's own sign-in page, then restarts the download by itself.

Sends links from Chrome to Cliphaul

The Chrome extension adds a toolbar button and a right-click item. Both send the page or link to Cliphaul.

Paste a link, keep the file

Cliphaul downloads from TikTok, Reddit, YouTube and the other sites the open-source yt-dlp project supports. Sites that lock their videos with DRM, such as paid streaming services, do not work.

Video as MP4

HD keeps the best quality the site offers. SD saves a smaller file, up to 480p.

Audio as M4A

Audio only saves just the sound, for talks, music and podcasts you may keep.

Files in Downloads

Each file lands in a Videos folder, sorted by site, with a button that shows it in Finder.

Questions

What people ask before they download Cliphaul.

Read the privacy page

Which Macs does Cliphaul run on?

Macs with Apple silicon running macOS 15 or later. It does not run on Intel Macs.

Where are my videos saved?

In a Videos folder inside Downloads, sorted by site. You can choose another folder in Settings.

Does Cliphaul see my Reddit password?

No. You type it into Reddit's own page. Cliphaul keeps only the sign-in cookie on your Mac and deletes it when you sign out.

What if a site stops working in Cliphaul?

Choose Update Download Engine in the Cliphaul menu, then try the link again. Sites change often, and the update fetches the newest yt-dlp.

Which videos may I download?

Only videos you have the right to save, such as your own uploads or videos whose owner allows it. Each site's terms and your local law still apply to you.
