Tuckaway
Browse four video platforms and save the clip on screen to your Mac with ⌘D.
Tuckaway is a browser with tabs for four video and social platforms. When a video plays, press ⌘D and it downloads, including the clip currently playing in a short-video feed. Files land in one folder per platform inside Downloads, and you can change the location.

What it does
One tab per platform
Switch platforms with ⌘1 to ⌘4. Each tab keeps its own page, and your logins are shared and stay signed in.
⌘D saves what is playing
Tuckaway finds the video on screen and downloads it, also in short-video feeds where the clip changes with every swipe.
Right-click or paste links
Right-click a video or a link to one and choose Download This Video. ⇧⌘D takes one or more pasted URLs at once.
Downloads panel
Follow progress, cancel, retry, show a file in Finder or read the log. Double-click a finished download to play it.
Files that play on Apple devices
Downloads prefer H.264 and AAC so they play on every Apple device. Switch to the highest available quality in Settings.
Downloads that need a login
Some platforms allow downloads only when you are logged in. Tuckaway passes your browser cookies to the downloader in a temporary file, and you can turn this off.
Good to know
- Downloads run through yt-dlp and ffmpeg, which you install separately.
- When a platform changes its site, downloads can fail until you update yt-dlp.
- Download only content you have the right to save, and follow each platform's terms.
System requirements
- macOS 15 or later
- Mac with Apple silicon
- yt-dlp and ffmpeg, installed with Homebrew (brew install yt-dlp ffmpeg)
