StreamGrab is an IDM-style download manager for Windows. Its companion Chrome
extension detects streaming video (HLS, DASH and direct MP4) on the page you
are watching; the desktop app downloads it with yt-dlp, aria2 and ffmpeg and
saves an MP4. Open the app once after installing so it registers with Chrome.
DRM-protected services (Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video and similar) are not supported.
