Version 3.8

Finally, after some months passed again xD

In this release I have improved the user experience a lot. The Tree Widget is much simpler now. You can automatically install Porn Fetch, which actually works now AND you can also uninstall it fully automatic. The UI design has been polished aswell as the internal code structure.

Guys, I can tell you my life is so peak right now. So many personal stuff has been fixed and now the temperatures are getting warmer. I have so much motivation for programming, school and my social life, which is also quite good now. So, what I want to say is, I AM FUCKING HYPED FOR THE FUTURE HOLY SHIT!!!

📱 New: Android Application

Porn Fetch now offers a native Android app written in Kotlin. This is an early release with ongoing development.

  • Current Features: Video downloading (currently tested and optimized for PornHub).
  • Storage Location: Downloaded videos will appear in your file browser under Movies/Porn Fetch/<video>.
  • Compatibility: Targets Android 16, but is fully backwards compatible with Android 8+.
  • Expect significant feature expansions in upcoming releases.

🛡️ Troubleshooting: Antivirus & Browser Blocks

Due to the nature of the software, some operating systems and browsers may mistakenly flag or block the application.

macOS

macOS security policies are highly restrictive. If you receive an error stating the app is "broken" or cannot be opened, macOS Gatekeeper is blocking it.

Important

You will need to bypass Gatekeeper to run the application. Please follow this quick 2-minute video tutorial for step-by-step instructions:
👉 [Watch macOS Fix Tutorial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_M9RKS_i11I)

Windows Defender

Microsoft Defender and certain browsers (such as Brave) actively block Porn Fetch as a false positive. We have submitted the files to Microsoft for official whitelisting.

Browser Download Blocks

If your Chromium-based browser (Chrome, Brave, etc.) instantly blocks the download file:

  1. Navigate to chrome://downloads/ in your address bar and manually allow the download.
  2. If that fails, try using Microsoft Edge.
  3. As a final fallback, use a terminal tool (like curl or wget) to download the file directly to your machine.

🖥️ System Compatibility & Community Testing

Due to hardware limitations, full testing on ARM64 Linux, Windows, and macOS is currently limited. While basic startup has been verified via GitHub Actions, automated updating and installation processes require real-world validation.

How you can help: If you run Porn Fetch on any of these systems, your feedback is invaluable! Please open a discussion or GitHub issue to let me know if everything works as intended.

❤️ Support the Project

Porn Fetch is entirely free and will always remain free. If you would like to support ongoing development, small donations are deeply appreciated:

Thank you very much for your support!

WARNING SERIOUS BUG IN CODE (MUST READ)

Caution

Due to me being stupid as hell there's a bug in the code where Porn Fetch loads all video segments into your RAM while remuxing the video. So, if you download a 5 GB Video, Porn Fetch will for remuxing use 5 Gigabytes of RAM! (I am so sorry, will be fixed in new version 💀 🙏 🌹 )
