FAQ
Questions
What is Downly?
Downly is a free download manager for Windows, macOS and Linux. It makes downloads up to 32× faster by splitting each file across parallel connections, and saves videos and audio from YouTube and 1000+ other sites, whole playlists and Spotify songs.
Is Downly a free alternative to IDM (Internet Download Manager)?
Yes. Like IDM, it speeds up downloads with multiple connections, catches downloads from Chrome, Edge and Firefox, and puts a Download button on videos. Unlike IDM, it has no trial and no paid version, and it also runs on macOS and Linux.
Is it really free?
Yes. Every feature is free with no limits, no ads and no account. Donations are optional.
Is it safe?
Downly doesn’t collect your data or show ads. The browser extension only talks to the app on your own computer.
How does Spotify work?
Downly reads the song details from Spotify, finds the same song on YouTube and saves it with Spotify’s title, artist and cover.
Which browsers does the extension work with?
Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi and Firefox. On Windows 10 and 11 you can also get the app from the Microsoft Store.
Is there an Android app?
Yes. Downly for Android downloads videos and music from YouTube and 1000+ sites, and has a browser with a Download button, a WhatsApp status saver, a music player that keeps playing in the background, and a fingerprint-locked vault for private videos. Get it here as an APK, since Google Play doesn't allow YouTube downloaders.
Does it work on Windows 7?
Yes. There’s a special build for Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 (32-bit and 64-bit) — the download button picks it automatically.
Windows says the app is unrecognized
New apps show this until they build reputation. Click “More info” → “Run anyway”.
Mac says Downly can't be opened
macOS does this for apps from outside the App Store. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security and click “Open Anyway”.
Can I download anything?
Please only download content you have the right to download, and respect each site’s terms and copyright.
