Stacher 7.1.13 for Mac
Mac UtilitiesStacher is a desktop front end for yt-dlp, the widely used open source tool for saving video and audio from a huge range of sites. Instead of typing commands into Terminal, you paste a link, pick a format and quality, and let Stacher handle the rest. Version 7 is a ground up rebuild with a queue, subscriptions, media conversion and a searchable library.
Key Features
- Paste a link and download video or audio without touching the command line
- Format and quality choices for each download, including high resolution video
- Playlist and channel downloads with subscriptions that watch for new posts
- Library with search, tags and a built in player for your saved media
- Media conversion between common formats such as MP4, MP3, MOV and GIF
How to Download
- Download from the official site and choose the macOS build for your Mac.
- Open the downloaded file and move Stacher into your Applications folder.
- Launch the app, let it set up yt-dlp on first run, then paste your first link.
System Requirements
Stacher runs on macOS with builds for both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. It needs an internet connection for downloads, and it uses ffmpeg for some conversions and merges.
FAQs
Is Stacher free?
The base app is free with no ads and no download limits. An optional Premium tier, offered through Patreon, adds extras such as themes and the full library mode.
Which sites does it work with?
It is powered by yt-dlp, so it covers the same very large range of sites as that tool. Only save content you have the right to keep, since site terms vary.
Do I need to install yt-dlp myself?
No. Stacher guides you through setting up yt-dlp on first launch, and it can reinstall it later from the tools menu if something breaks.
