FAQ

Do you support audio-only (MP3) extraction?: No. Hoardwick focuses on video archiving only. Audio extraction is explicitly not a feature.
Which sites are supported?: Over 1,000 public video sites. Hoardwick uses a maintained open-source engine, so new-site support arrives with regular engine updates.
Do my links or files get uploaded anywhere?: No. All fetching and processing happens on your computer. The only time Hoardwick contacts our server is a hashed, minimal license check after you activate a paid license.
Does it work with subscription/DRM services like Netflix or Spotify?: No. Hoardwick does not and will not support DRM-protected content. That is a hard product boundary.
What can I legally archive?: Content you own, content you have permission to keep, and uses permitted by the source site or by copyright exceptions in your country (e.g. research or private copying where allowed). You are responsible for complying with the source site's terms.
What does the free trial include?: The free trial runs one task at a time with full quality and all formats, and caps playlists at 10 items per list. No account or credit card needed. Upgrade to a License for unlimited concurrent tasks, no per-list cap and batch queue.
Is there a free version?: Yes. The free tier runs one task at a time with full quality and all formats, and caps playlists at 10 items per list. No account or credit card needed. Upgrade to a License for unlimited concurrent tasks, no per-list cap and batch queue.
What if a site changes and downloads break?: The engine is updated upstream by its community, usually within days. One click updates Hoardwick's engine; if an update misbehaves, rollback is automatic.
Refunds?: A 30-day money-back guarantee applies to every paid license. See the Refund Policy.
