Where will downloaded episodes be saved?

Files are expected to land in your computer's default downloads folder. The naming is planned to include the show and episode name, making it easy to organize your offline library.

Can I download without opening the popup?

Yes, a right-click context menu option is being developed. This will let you start a download directly from the page without needing to open the extension popup.

Will I see download progress?

A progress indicator is planned, showing speed, file size, and time remaining. This will give you real-time feedback on each download's status.

Does the extension collect any personal data?

No, it is intended to store only your license and preferences locally. There will be no analytics, tracking, or data collection of any kind.

How will the extension handle premium or patron episodes?

If you are logged into Podbean with a valid subscription, the extension is designed to detect and download episodes you have access to within your active session.

How will I know when a download finishes?

A desktop notification is expected to appear once an episode download is complete, so you can move the file or start listening right away.

What audio format will downloads use?

The extension is being built to save episodes in their original audio format as served by Podbean, with no conversion or quality loss.

Can I download multiple episodes at once?

Batch downloading is not planned. Each episode will be downloaded individually, though you can start several downloads in sequence.

Best backup tool for Podbean creators

I run a weekly show on Podbean and wanted an independent backup of all my episodes. This saved me from manually exporting 150 files through the dashboard. Clean and fast.

Finally offline Podbean episodes

I listen to a few Podbean-only shows and wanted them on my MP3 player for hiking trips. The extension detected episodes on the show's website and downloaded them without extra fuss.

Straightforward and reliable

Simple, does what it promises. Grabbed a research interview series I had access to and filed them away for transcription later. No quality loss at all.
