AFetch is a free Android app that downloads public video content to local device storage. Its built-in browser can detect videos on public webpages, and users can also enter a direct media URL. The app supports MP4, WebM, HLS (M3U8), and DASH (MPD) media for on-demand and live streams. It can merge HLS or DASH segments locally into one MP4 file, while large downloads run asynchronously in the background. Video-link parsing and downloads are processed on the device. Browsing history and download records remain local, and AFetch servers do not access downloaded content. A PIN can protect the app; an optional recovery email is stored locally for recovery. The free plan is free and displays third-party ads, which may collect advertising identifiers, device information, and interaction data. Compatibility is limited to public webpages using standard protocols. DRM-encrypted video, YouTube, and non-public media are unsupported.
Who it is for
AFetch suits Android users saving compatible public videos locally, including supported on-demand or live streams. It is useful for users who want on-device processing and local history storage.
