I made an open-source, ad-free content downloader that simply works

Every time I tried downloading a video online, I ended up on some shady website full of popups, fake buttons, and trackers. All I wanted was a clean, safe way to download content for offline viewing, education, and inspiration - without ads or hidden scripts.

So I created Fetchy an open source ad free content downloader which is fast, privacy-friendly and operates directly from your browser.

Why I built it

I grew tired of fake “Download” links, annoying redirect loops and websites that use your bandwidth to display ads.

Fetchy was created on a premise that transparent and user respectful utilities should be open demoninator.

What's unique about it

🚫 No ads or tracking - first and foremost, privacy.
🌍 Open source - inspect, fork, or contribute to it on GitHub.
⚡ Just works - clean interface, no extensions or sign up needed.
🧱 Modern solutions - lightweight front-end and moderate back-end that doesn't bag down on popular sites.

🌐 Try it

If you find it useful, or just plain interesting, then a ⭐ on GitHub means the world.

And if you have thoughts on making it better, open an issue or get in the discussion - I’d love to collaborate with the community.
