The short version:
nothing leaves your device.
Last updated: 20 May 2026
Grabbr is an iPhone and iPad app that helps you save videos from public links to a private library on your device. This page explains what data the app touches, what it sends, and what it stores.
What we collect
Nothing. Grabbr has no servers, no accounts and no analytics. There is no telemetry build, no crash-reporting SDK, and no third-party tracking framework embedded in the app.
What stays on your device
- The URLs you paste into the app.
- The downloaded video and audio files.
- Generated thumbnails and metadata (title, duration, source).
- Session cookies you create by logging into a site through the in-app sheet, stored locally so future downloads from that site can reuse the session.
- Your preferences (default quality, output template, Wi-Fi-only setting).
All of this lives in Grabbr's sandbox on your device. You can delete any item from the Library tab, and you can forget a stored session from Settings → Logged-in sites.
Network requests Grabbr makes
- Direct requests to the site you pasted, to fetch the video stream.
- Requests to the same site to detect if it redirects to a login page (so we can show you the login sheet when needed).
These requests come from your device, not from a Grabbr server. The site sees your IP address the same way it would if you opened the page in Safari.
In-app purchases
Grabbr offers a one-time purchase to unlock unlimited downloads. Purchases are handled by Apple's StoreKit. We don't see your payment details. Apple gives the app a receipt confirming the purchase, and that receipt is checked locally on your device.
Children
Grabbr is rated for users 17 and older because the public sites it can fetch from include some that host adult content. We don't knowingly collect data from anyone, including children.
Changes to this policy
If we ever change the privacy model, for example by adding any kind of cloud sync or analytics, we will update this page and the in-app About section. Old versions of the app remain governed by the policy in effect when they were released.
