OmniGet is a surprisingly useful open-source desktop downloader for far more than YouTube

OmniGet is one of those tools that looks like a simple downloader at first — then turns out to be much broader.

What makes it worth a look

• native desktop app for Windows, macOS, and Linux
• no ads, no account, no telemetry claims on the official site
• downloads from YouTube, TikTok, Reddit, X, Vimeo, Bilibili and more
• can also pull full online courses from platforms like Udemy and Hotmart
• bundles yt-dlp and FFmpeg so the setup is lighter than many DIY stacks

What other sources reveal

The GitHub repo and official site both point to a bigger pitch than the viral one:

• built-in previews and quality selection
• global hotkey workflow
• plugin ecosystem
• document/course reading and study features
• torrent and peer-to-peer transfer support
