https://cobolt.tools is free, open source, and more feature complete. It’s my go-to and I think it’s awesome.

Cobalt is pretty awesome. I made Yout.com a while ago. Works for all none DRM'd videos. For YouTube urls you can delete the "Ube" of them to get to a save page.

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to support Instagram stories, which is the type of media I find myself wanting to save the most.

OP: in case you weren't aware, websites that do this have been facing legal challenges recently, with some being shut down. I suspect that's part of the reason there's room in the market for yours... while it lasts :(

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t — I remember seeing a post on Cobalt’s Twitter saying they fixed Instagram support, and then just a few hours later a post saying it broke again…
