Hitomi Downloader: Versatile media downloader for Windows

Hitomi Downloader is an open source media downloader for Microsoft Windows operating systems that can be extended using user scripts.

The downloader supports downloading from many websites by default, including YouTube, Facebook, Twitch, Flickr, Imgur, Instagram, Wayback Machine, Weibo and Pinterest. By default, the downloader also supports several manga websites as well as adult websites and services. Hitomi Downloader also supports all sites supported by youtube-dl.

Users can extend support through scripts. A selection of scripts can be downloaded on the project's GitHub page.

This application is a large download; it is over 80 megabytes in size. Windows may throw a SmartScreen error message on first run. Once bypassed, the application's main interface loads.

To get started, paste any URL from a supported site into the app's address field. You can also type the URL, but pasting may be faster. Clicking the download button connects to the URL and starts downloading, provided the content is found on a downloadable page.

First-time users may wish to first open Settings by selecting Options > Preferences. There they find a number of important options, including the option to set download folder preferences for each supported service, options for specific services like YouTube or Instagram, the option to compress certain downloads into zip files, and the option to set a password for the program Advanced preferences, proxy or file exclusions, and more.

YouTube is set to download the highest quality version by default. If you only want audio, you can change it to a different default resolution or change the default format from mp4 to mp3.

Hitomi Downloader also supports torrents, but most users will probably want to use a dedicated torrent client for these downloads as they offer more options and preferences.

Users can access multiple customization options and nice features. Hitomi Downloader can monitor your clipboard for URLs of supported services, supports light and dark modes, importable and exportable tasks, and interface customization.
