- Update notifications — a badge appears on the extension icon when a course has new files since your last download. Open the popup to see how many.
- Smart sync — the extension remembers every file you've downloaded. Re-running on the same course only downloads new or updated files, skipping everything you already have.
- Download library — popup shows all courses you've downloaded with file counts. Clear per-course to force a full re-download.
- Custom download path — choose where files are saved within your Downloads folder.
- Parallel downloads — 3 files download at once instead of one at a time.
- Retry with backoff — failed downloads automatically retry up to 3 times.
- No save dialogs — files download silently regardless of your Chrome settings.
- Progress bars — live progress during both scanning and downloading phases.
- Better format support — improved detection for Grid, Collapsed Topics, and other Moodle layouts.
- Initial release. Bulk download of course materials, Kaltura videos, Echo360 lecture captures, smart folder organisation, light/dark mode.
Inspired by the original keats_downloader by @memst, a Python/Selenium script for Kaltura video downloads. This is a complete rewrite as a Chrome extension — no Python, no Selenium, no ffmpeg. Extends scope to all course materials, adds smart organisation, supports all Moodle formats, and includes Echo360 lecture capture downloads.
