What's New

Performance improvements and under-the-hood polish.

• ImprovedGeneral performance improvements across the popup for a snappier experience.

One-click problem reports, an always-there helper setup link, and a new home for feature requests.

• NewReport a problem in one click — a 🚩 Report button now lives in the popup header (and footer). It shows exactly what diagnostics are shared before anything is sent, and you can leave your email so we follow up when your issue is fixed.
• NewSuggest a feature moved to freewhopdownloader.com/suggest — requests go straight to the developers, with optional email follow-up when your idea ships.
• ImprovedThe helper setup guide is now always reachable from the popup footer — previously it disappeared if you dismissed the install prompt.
• ImprovedFooter links restyled as proper buttons so support actions are easy to find.

Fixed the "buildMuxArgs is not defined" download error, plus license checks that survive strict networks.

• FixedFixed downloads failing with "buildMuxArgs is not defined" — a file was accidentally left out of the previous build. Merged video + audio downloads work again.
• ImprovedLicense activation and update checks now route through tailsgate.com first, so networks and antivirus tools that block workers.dev no longer make valid license keys look invalid.
• ImprovedA clearer message when the license server is unreachable, instead of "invalid key".

No more video length limits on the free tier.

• ImprovedThe free tier no longer has a video length limit — download hour-plus course videos on the free plan, same as Pro.
• FixedVideos without a separate audio track now save as proper MP4 files that open in QuickTime, not just VLC.

Download an entire Whop course in one click — every lesson, in order, to a single folder.

• NewBulk course download (Pro · Beta): scans the whole course and saves every lesson sequentially into one Downloads folder, numbered 01, 02, 03… so they play back in order offline.
• NewCourse PDFs are saved automatically alongside any lesson that includes one.
• NewResumable — if a run is interrupted, starting again skips the lessons already saved and continues where it left off.
• NewEach course download writes a log.txt into its folder, so any skipped lesson is easy to spot and report.
• ImprovedBulk downloads run through the desktop helper, so they keep going even if you close the popup.

Download progress that actually tells you what is happening, plus a smoother finish.

• ImprovedLive, phase-aware progress — see whether the extension is downloading segments or merging tracks, not just a spinning bar.
• ImprovedClear "download complete" confirmation when your file lands, including downloads delivered through the desktop helper.
• ImprovedFriendlier message when a video only has muxed audio and you pick "Audio only".
• FixedFixed a stray "[object PointerEvent]" showing up in the upgrade prompt.
• FixedThe merge step now gets its own longer timeout so large videos no longer time out mid-merge.

Download course PDFs straight from the page, with a faster popup.

• NewA floating "Download PDF" button appears right on Whop course pages that contain PDFs.
• ImprovedBroadened PDF capture so PDFs served from Whop's own file hosts are detected reliably.
• ImprovedFaster popup load.

PDF downloads and a heads-up when your desktop helper is out of date.

• NewDownload course PDFs (1 credit each), gated by the same credit system as videos.
• NewA banner now appears in the popup when your installed desktop helper is older than the current version, with a one-click reinstall.

Reliable combined downloads on Macs without Homebrew, and finished files that actually save.

• FixedFinished videos are now delivered straight to your Downloads folder by the helper — fixes downloads that appeared "cancelled".
• FixedBundled a static ffmpeg so combined (video + audio) downloads work on Macs that don't have Homebrew installed.
• ImprovedThe helper now runs the bundled yt-dlp under its own interpreter, removing a class of "command not found" errors.
• ImprovedAdded a stall watchdog so the helper never freezes forever on a stuck merge.

Fixed combined downloads hanging on "Merging tracks…".

• FixedResolved the hang that left combined downloads stuck on "Merging tracks…".

Know when a new version is available.

• NewAn in-extension update banner now lets you know when a newer version of the extension is out.

A better off-boarding experience.

• ImprovedUninstalling now points to our own exit survey with retention offers instead of a generic page.

In-browser merging, no desktop helper required.

• NewWASM-first combined downloads — video and audio are merged right in your browser via ffmpeg.wasm, no helper required.
• ImprovedProgress now rehydrates if you reopen the popup, and download success is reported honestly.

Faster, more reliable installs on Windows.

• FixedFixed a merge hang on Windows.
• ImprovedFaster installers.
