FetchFlow is a powerful, lightweight, native download accelerator and streaming media capture engine. Built with .NET 8 AOT, native Wayland CSD, and Windows WPF for maximum performance.
Modern architecture designed to maximize your bandwidth with zero stutter.
Splits files dynamically into parallel chunks (up to 32 socket streams), saturating high-speed fiber & gigabit connections.
Full support for Windows 11 and 10 with native WPF UI, system tray integration, automatic startup, and clipboard monitoring.
Runs natively on Linux without XWayland. Supports KDE Plasma 6, GNOME 46+, Sway, and Hyprland with StatusNotifierItem tray.
Integrated yt-dlp engine automatically captures video and audio streams from YouTube, Vimeo, and 1000+ streaming sites.
One-click download takeover and media capture for Chrome, Brave, Edge, Firefox, and Floorp via fast local loopback IPC.
Automatically sanitizes illegal characters in downloaded file names, preventing copy errors over USB/MTP transfers to phones and tablets.
