omniget
OmniGet is a desktop downloading app for macOS that helps you save online videos and other supported media to your Mac.
What is omniget?
OmniGet is a native desktop downloader for macOS that helps users save videos and other supported online media to local storage. It is built for people who want a simple desktop workflow instead of browser-based tools, with versions also available for Windows and Linux. On Mac, the app is distributed as a downloadable DMG and stores its user data in the standard Application Support folder. Typical use includes collecting media for offline viewing, organizing downloads, and managing supported sources from one place. OmniGet also documents dependency and plugin-related settings for advanced use, making it suitable for users who want more control over download behavior than a basic web tool provides. Tonho publishes the app and its documentation through the official OmniGet website.

Safety overview
Status: Use with caution
OmniGet is legitimate desktop software, but Mac users should be aware that the current macOS build is distributed outside the App Store and the official site states it is not notarized by Apple yet. That can trigger Gatekeeper warnings on first launch and means you should download it only from the official OmniGet site. Because the app is designed to download online media, it may handle files from many sources, so use normal caution with what you save and open.
Recommendation: Keep OmniGet if you actively use it to download supported media on your Mac. If you no longer use it, removing the app is reasonable; doing so may leave behind its local support files unless you delete those separately.
