ClipHutch

Web Media Capture. Your browser's media shelf.

A Chrome extension that watches network requests on the pages you visit and lists the videos it detects. Click the toolbar icon to see what's been detected on the current tab; click Download to save a file. Detection and downloading happen entirely on your device.

What it does

Detects direct video files (MP4, WebM, MOV, MKV) as pages load them.
Detects HLS playlists (.m3u8) and DASH manifests (.mpd).
Saves direct files via Chrome's download manager.
Assembles HLS streams into a playable file locally.

What makes it different

5 API permissions, not 14.

No content scripts. No DOM access. No analytics. No telemetry. The free tier never contacts a ClipHutch server.
