iTube Studio
iTube Studio is a video downloader for macOS that lets users download videos from YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo, Amazon and other video-sharing websites. It offers features like batch playlist downloading, subtitle capture, format conversion, and a private mode to password-protect downloaded files. The app was primarily marketed to casual users and those who wanted to watch downloaded videos on external devices like USB drives or TVs. It historically included a one-click download button and subtitle downloading capabilities, making it convenient for archiving online video content.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestioniTube Studio has been discontinued by its developer and is no longer actively maintained or supported. The RoaringApps database flags it as end-of-life, and a 2024 forum post confirms that the app no longer functions — users report it stopped downloading videos and the vendor stopped providing updates. There is no native Apple Silicon build. The app will stop working entirely when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), and it may not work reliably even before that date on newer macOS releases. If you need to download videos from YouTube and other sites, consider actively maintained native alternatives: yt-dlp (free, command-line tool that is extremely powerful and reliable), MediaHuman YouTube Downloader (free, graphical interface, native Apple Silicon support), or Downie (paid, feature-rich, native Apple Silicon). All three run natively on M-series Macs and are updated regularly to handle changes in video-hosting websites.
