PullTube 1.8.6.36Updated

Download PullTube for macOS

PullTube is a video downloader for macOS. It does one thing: you give it a link, and it saves that video to your Mac so you can watch it without a connection. Paste a URL into the app — or send it straight from your browser — pick a quality, and the file lands in your downloads folder.

It works with a wide range of video sites rather than just one, and it handles the formats people actually need: full-resolution video, audio-only extraction when you just want the sound, and subtitle tracks alongside the file. Quality options go up to 4K and beyond where the source supports it.

The interface is deliberately plain. There is a URL field, a quality picker, and a queue. No account, no dashboard, no ten-step wizard. For anyone who has fought with browser-based downloaders and their pop-ups and redirects, the appeal is mostly that PullTube is a normal Mac app that behaves like one.

Features

• Broad site support — works with YouTube, Vimeo, and a long list of other video platforms from a single interface.
• High-resolution downloads — grab video at 1080p, 4K, or higher when the source provides it.
• Audio extraction — pull just the audio track and save it as an MP3 or M4A when you don’t need the video.
• Subtitle downloads — save caption tracks along with the video, or as separate files.
• Built-in trimming — select a start and end point and download only that section instead of the whole video.
• Playlist and batch handling — queue multiple links or an entire playlist and let them process in sequence.
• Browser integration — send links directly from your browser without copying and pasting.
• Format choice — pick your container and quality before the download starts rather than converting afterward.
• Native macOS app — a lightweight app with drag-and-drop support and no browser dependency.

Who It’s For

People who need video available offline: commuters and travelers with unreliable connections, students saving lectures for later, anyone building a personal reference library of tutorials or talks. It is also useful when you only want the audio from a long video and would rather listen than watch.
