Supported platforms

Built to take as few taps as possible

Share, and it starts

Pick the app in any share sheet. The download begins at once and you see it at the top of the list — or copy a link and the app offers it on launch.

A queue you can manage

One download at a time, in the order shown. Pause and resume from the byte it stopped at, drag waiting ones into a new order, swipe finished ones away.

Choose the quality

Best, 1080p, 720p, 480p or audio only. Tiers a video doesn't reach are greyed out, and a remembered default keeps shared links one tap.

Keeps going in the background

Locked screen, minimised app, rotated phone — downloads continue, with one notification for the whole batch.

Straight into your gallery

Files land in Movies, named after the video title, and show up in Google Photos and every file manager right away.

Stays working

The bundled yt-dlp updates itself, because platforms break old extractors within months. The app tells you when a new release is out.

Material 3 Expressive, dark and light

Four screens: the quality sheet on Home, the download queue, the progress notification and the German settings

Install in three steps

  1. 1

    Download the APK

    One file for every phone sold since about 2016 — there is nothing to pick.

  2. 2

    Allow the install

    Open the file. Android asks once whether your browser may install apps — allow it.

  3. 3

    Share a link

    Updates install over the existing app; the Home screen tells you when one is available.

Not on Google Play by design: the Play Store does not allow video downloaders or self-updating engines. Distribution runs through GitHub Releases, like NewPipe and Seal.

Like the app?

Flipper the Ripper is free, has no ads and stays that way. A small donation keeps it maintained — and a review of celox.io on Google helps just as much.
