What it does
Offline Packs
Groups web content, files, PDFs, images, feeds, and supported videos into situations.
“Add pages, files, PDFs, images, feeds and supported public video files to packs you can return to later.”
Smart Scope
Captures related pages and documentation context beyond a single starting page.
“Smart Scope can prepare nearby pages, a relevant section, documentation structure, supported feed or collection while keeping the scope bounded and under your control.”
Offline Readiness Indicator
Shows whether content is stored locally and if the saved version is out of date.
“You can see whether content is actually stored locally and whether the saved copy may be out of date.”
Automatic Content Refresh
Updates saved content automatically while protecting existing valid downloads from failed updates.
“Choose content to refresh automatically when your connection, storage and battery settings allow.”
Direct Video Capture
Saves standalone public videos for offline viewing.
“FetchAhead can save supported public progressive MP4 and WebM files up to 64 MiB through its direct video action.”
What FetchAhead doesn't do
- It doesn't download videos from video streaming sites or bypass DRM, paywalls, and authentication.
- It doesn't fully capture modern JavaScript-heavy or logged-in websites.
