Snaptube alternative
A Snaptube alternative with no ads and nothing to hide
Why people look for a Snaptube alternative
The reasons come up again and again, and they are the ones ClipSave was built around.
Ads
Many free downloaders pay for themselves with ads. ClipSave has none, and no analytics or trackers either.
Unknown APK copies
Downloader APKs live outside Google Play, so fake and modded copies are common. ClipSave publishes checksums and a single signing key to check against.
Closed code
You can't read what a closed app does with your phone. Every line of ClipSave is public on GitHub under GPL-3.0.
Accounts and permissions
ClipSave needs no account and no storage permission. Optional Instagram or Facebook sign-in keeps cookies only, never your password.

Questions
Is ClipSave a good Snaptube alternative?
+
ClipSave does the same core job. You share a link from YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook or 1000+ other sites, pick video or audio and a quality, and it saves to your phone. It has no ads, no trackers and no account, and its source code is public.
Is ClipSave made by Snaptube?
+
No. ClipSave is an independent open-source project and is not affiliated with Snaptube or its developer.
Does ClipSave have ads?
+
No. There are no ads in the app, and no analytics or trackers.
Is ClipSave on Google Play?
+
No. Google Play does not allow apps that download from sites like YouTube, so ClipSave is published as an APK on GitHub Releases. Download it only from clipsave.link or the official GitHub releases page, and check the SHA-256 checksum.
How do I know the APK is safe?
+
Every release is built by GitHub Actions from the public source, with a published SHA-256 checksum and one signing certificate you can verify before installing. Android also refuses updates signed by anyone else.
Which sites can I download from?
+
YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X, Reddit, Vimeo, SoundCloud, Pinterest, Dailymotion and more than 1000 others through yt-dlp. What works depends on what each site allows.
Can I save audio as MP3?
+
Yes. Choose Audio instead of Video in the quality sheet to save just the sound, for example as MP3.
