Everything you need to download Twitch.
One paste, and it’s yours, at the quality and format you want.
Save VODs, clips, and highlights
A past broadcast can run for hours. Vidferry saves the whole thing as one MP4, and it handles short clips and highlights just as easily.
Grab a channel's past broadcasts
Point Vidferry at a channel's videos and it lists the saved VODs, then downloads them one after another into your folder.
Keep just the audio
For a music stream, a talk, or a podcast, switch to MP3 or M4A and Vidferry saves the sound and skips the video.
Private and on your machine
It all runs locally. No account, no ads, no telemetry. What you pull off Twitch stays yours.
A Twitch downloader for the parts worth keeping
Streams are long and loose, but the good bits are worth pulling out and keeping: a clutch play, a full VOD you want on your drive, a highlight reel from a channel you follow. Vidferry saves any of them by link. You paste the URL, it reads what Twitch is serving, and it writes an MP4 to a folder you choose. It’s a small app on your Mac or PC, so there’s no ad-covered site in the way and no account to make.
Every link is handled on your machine, and Vidferry merges Twitch’s video and audio into a single MP4 (H.264 video, AAC audio). A three-hour VOD and a ten-second clip come down the same way.
Before the VOD expires
Twitch doesn’t keep past broadcasts forever. Depending on the channel, a VOD can disappear after a couple of weeks. If there’s a stream you want to hold onto, it’s worth saving while it’s still up. Point Vidferry at a channel’s videos and it works through the saved broadcasts one after another, so you’re not doing it one click at a time.
Signed in? It can ferry that too
Sub-only VODs only play for subscribers. In Settings, point Vidferry at the browser where you’re logged into Twitch, and it uses that session to fetch what you can watch. The cookies stay on your machine, and it won’t reach anything your account can’t already open.

Pick quality and format
Choose Best, 1080p, 720p, or 480p. A three-hour VOD at source quality is a big file, so pick what fits.

Ferry it over
Hit download early. Regular VODs expire in weeks, and a saved MP4 outlives them.
