Capture browser downloads, website videos, playlists, torrents and magnet links. Control how many files and connections run, choose queues and pin up to eight tools. Recover and organize with resume, integrity checks, clear errors, tags and file tools. Explore the full toolkit →
Everything bundled in the Electron edition. Setup: 148.1 MB · Portable: 147.9 MB.
The same interface and full Node, FFmpeg, aria2 and video-extraction tools, using shared Microsoft WebView2 + .NET Framework 4.8. These system prerequisites are outside the reported download size. This remains an optional preview. Compare editions →
Updating? Use Setup to replace the existing installation. Portable opens separately. Exit Flow from the tray before updating. Update walkthrough · All release files · Checksums
Progress, speed, remaining time, pause, cancel and tray access. Details are there when you need them.
Choose your accent, density, corners, fonts, columns and motion. Follow your system or keep your own appearance.
Recorded in an isolated example library, with a synchronized cursor overlay. The transfer GIF shows a completed 3 MiB local download; it is not an internet-speed benchmark. Capture notes.

- Open Flow. Paste a link into New download, choose a destination and start or queue it.
- Connect the browser. Open Browser integration, prepare the connection and load the companion once in Chrome, Edge or Brave. Illustrated instructions →
- Make it comfortable. Pin your usual tools, set your download limits and pick an appearance.
The companion currently needs a manual Load unpacked step because it is not in a browser store. Portable editions save data in your Windows profile; they are not zero-footprint USB applications.

Compatibility, validation and current limits
Windows 10/11 x64. Windows 7/8/8.1 are unsupported, Linux packages are deferred, and executables remain unsigned. Publisher signing.
Both 2.7.1 package jobs passed 250 source tests. The actual installed upgrade preserved its library, settings and two completed-file hashes. Compact Preview has separate payload and native integration evidence. The 170-check UI baseline describes 2.7.0's unchanged interface. Read the exact results →
Website restrictions, authentication and extractor changes can affect downloads. Flow does not decrypt DRM or promise a fixed speed multiplier. The updater announces releases and opens the official page; unattended installation/rollback, playlist subscriptions, general ZIP/7Z/RAR auto-extraction and cross-device sync remain future work.
