Downie 4 for Mac v4.11.13 Professional Video Downloader Chinese Activated Version Download

Downie is a professional video download tool designed specifically for macOS. With its intuitive interface, broad platform compatibility, and deeply optimized performance, it has become the preferred software for Mac users to efficiently obtain online video content.

In addition, because major video websites frequently update their anti-scraping mechanisms and page structures, Downie also needs to keep updating accordingly to maintain download functionality. Therefore, the official update cycle may be short (for example, every 10-15 days). Users are advised to keep an eye on version developments to ensure software availability.

1. Core Features

1. Broad Website Support and Intelligent Parsing

• Coverage of over a thousand sites: Supports more than 1,200 streaming platforms worldwide, including YouTube, Vimeo, Bilibili, Douyin, Instagram, Facebook, and others (data as of 2025).
• Dynamic rule adaptation: The built-in rule library is automatically updated three times a week, effectively parsing complex page structures such as Bilibili interactive videos and Douyin collections. The parsing success rate is about 40% higher than similar tools.
• Convenient trigger methods: Provides browser extensions (supporting Safari/Chrome/Opera), and supports capturing videos with one click by copying a link, dragging a URL to the window, or clicking the extension button.

2. High-Performance Downloading and Queue Management

• High-resolution support: Supports downloading videos up to 8K ultra HD, breaking through platform limitations. Hardware acceleration is optimized for Apple Silicon chips (M series), significantly improving download speed.
• Multithreading and resume support: Uses HLS multithreaded download technology (some advanced features require enabling via terminal commands), and combined with network optimization can achieve extremely high download speeds; supports resume from breakpoints to ensure task integrity when the network is unstable.
• Batch processing: Supports adding links in batches, downloading in queue order, and organizing entire playlists or channel content into specified folders for easy archiving and management.

3. Deep Integration and Post-Processing

• Intelligent format conversion: By default, downloaded videos are converted to the widely compatible MP4 format. It can work seamlessly with its sister software Permute for professional format conversion (such as ProRes, HEVC) or video merging.
• Subtitles and metadata: Supports downloading external subtitle files and can extract video metadata (title, author, tags, etc.) and save it as JSON files for media library management.
• Automated workflows: Through the “Hot Folder” feature, you can set subsequent actions such as automatic format conversion and script execution to be triggered after download completion, enabling automated batch processing.
