Clipwell — Andreas

Watch a video you want to keep? Clipwell finds it on the page, lets you pick a quality, and saves it to Downloads. Star a page to come back later, or bookmark it and download when you are ready.

If the site uses a stream instead of a normal file, Clipwell can join unencrypted HLS or DASH into one playable file. If something cannot be saved — DRM, a locked stream, a page-only player — Save stays off and you get a short reason. No junk files.

Everything stays on your computer. No account, no ads, no tracking.

What you can do
• Save the video you are watching
• Favourite a watch page
• Bookmark it for Later
• Keep unencrypted HLS and DASH as one file
• See a thumbnail, a filename preview, and a clear “can’t save” note
• Queue, pause, cancel, or retry — even after you close the tab
• Use Quick, Archive, or Mobile, or name files your way
• Hide ads and add simple site rules
• Popup or side panel (Alt+Shift+V). Best match: Alt+Shift+D

How it works
1. Play the video.
2. Open Clipwell.
3. Save it, star it, or keep it for Later.
4. Find the file in Chrome Downloads.
