Video DownloadHelper Companion App (CoApp) is a helper application that works alongside the Video DownloadHelper browser extension to enable downloading videos from websites. The app handles the actual video conversion and download processes that the browser extension cannot perform alone due to browser security limitations. It's primarily used by people who want to save videos from streaming sites, social media platforms, and other web sources for offline viewing. The companion app runs in the background and communicates with the browser extension to process video downloads and perform format conversions using built-in ffmpeg functionality.

The developer provides separate installers for Intel and Apple Silicon Macs, so make sure to download the 'MacOS Silicon (M1/M2/...)' version. Your existing browser extension will continue to work with the updated companion app, and you should see improved performance and compatibility on Apple Silicon Macs.
