Built for power users. No compromises.

01 ⚡

Background Downloads

Share and return to Instagram instantly. Downloads continue silently in the background with wake-lock protection. Get notified when complete.

03 📸

Full Story Support

Images and videos. Both work perfectly.

04 🔒

Private Content

Use cookies to access private accounts you follow.

02 — Setup

One-time setup. Five minutes.
