RogueFetch
Download, convert, and organize media.
RogueFetch is a Windows desktop utility from Rogue Gain that downloads, converts, and organizes supported online media using a clear local interface.
Free, no advertisements, no tracking popups, no nag screens.
The Windows installer and the portable edition are both published on the GitHub release page, with SHA-256 checksums.

Specifications
What it needs.
Lawful use
What this tool is for.
RogueFetch is intended only for media the user owns, has permission to download, or is otherwise legally authorized to save.
Users are responsible for complying with copyright law and the terms of the services they access.
RogueFetch does not bypass access controls and does not support DRM-protected streams. It is a retrieval and conversion utility, not a circumvention tool.
Known limitations
What to expect.
Stated up front, because you will run into some of these.
- Builds are unsigned, so Windows SmartScreen may warn on first run.
- Some antivirus products flag PyInstaller-packaged applications.
- Supported websites change over time, and support is not guaranteed for any given site.
- Authenticated content may require authorized cookies that you supply.
- DRM-protected streams are not supported.
- Access controls are not bypassed.
Open source
RogueFetch bundles FFmpeg.
RogueFetch bundles FFmpeg, used under the GNU Lesser General Public License, version 3. The bundled binaries are unmodified. RogueFetch runs ffmpeg.exe as a separate process and links no FFmpeg library into itself.
The bundled build is ffmpeg-n7.1.5-2-g998de74adf-win64-lgpl-shared-7.1, from FFmpeg’s release/7.1 branch at commit 998de74adf, produced by BtbN/FFmpeg-Builds at release tag autobuild-2026-07-13-14-11.
The FFmpeg libraries ship as separate DLLs, so you can replace them with your own compatible build by swapping the files. No relinking is required. The full licence text and build provenance ship inside both packages.
