Allow this source, once

The first time, Android sends you to Install unknown apps. Turn on Allow from this source, then go back and tap Install. You will not be asked again for updates.

On Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO phones a red Danger screen comes first: tick I am aware of the risks, wait for the countdown, then tap OK.

Allow from this source

Your phone and personal data are more vulnerable to attack by unknown apps. By installing apps from this source, you agree that you are responsible for any damage to your phone or loss of data.

Let Play Protect check it, then install

Google Play Protect has not seen a new app before, so it recommends a scan. Tap Scan app. When it says App installed, tap Open; VidHatch also sits with your other apps.

Xiaomi, Samsung and other phones word these screens a little differently, and some skip one. The button to press is the same.

App scan recommended

Play Protect hasn’t seen VidHatch before. To keep your phone and data safe, send it to Google for a security scan.

Questions, answered plainly.

Is it safe to install?

Yes. The app is signed by VidHatch and Play Protect can scan it before it installs. It has no ads, no trackers and no account, and it asks only for internet, notifications and permission to keep a download running in the background.

Why is it not on Google Play?

Not yet. For now it comes straight from this page. The file’s SHA-256 is 52b59b6855371c8a8fc47e019d1328b7589824c1bc8307f282e9243d92f93b41, if you want to check your copy.

What if it finds nothing?

Play the video first. Many sites only load the video once it starts, and the blue button appears as soon as VidHatch sees it. If the video is copy-protected (DRM), VidHatch tells you it cannot be saved instead of handing you a broken file.

Where are my videos?

In Download/VidHatch. Gallery and Files show them, and so does ⋮ → Downloads inside the app.

How do I update?

Install the new version over the old one. Download it from this page and open it; your saved videos and settings stay where they are.

Does it cost anything?

No. The app is free, with no account and no watermark. Pro is an upgrade for the browser extension; nothing in the app is locked.

Is there an iPhone version?

No. Apple’s rules do not allow apps that save video from other sites, so VidHatch is Android only. On a computer, use the browser extension.

Ready when you are.
