Takes over Chrome downloads
Zip archives, installers, PDFs, ISO images, videos and more: when you download a file in Chrome, the Aurora Tube Helper handles it.
Download manager + creator workspace
Faster downloads. One place for all of them.
Aurora Tube is the download manager and creator workspace for Chrome. When you download a file in Chrome, such as a zip, an installer, a PDF, an ISO or a video, the Aurora Tube Helper app for Windows takes it over. It downloads the file over parallel connections, lets you pause and resume, and keeps every download in one list.
Free plan: unlimited file downloads with pause and resume, plus 10 video or audio saves a day. Aurora Pro: accelerated 8-connection downloads and unlimited saves, from $4.99 a month.
Faster on limited serversSplits a file into segments and downloads them over up to 8 connections at once.
Resume, don't restartPause, continue later, and pick up after a dropped connection or failure.
Everything stays on your PCFiles save to your Downloads folder. We host nothing, show no ads and sell no data.
Download manager
Every file you download, handled better.
Keep downloading in Chrome the way you always do. Aurora Tube takes over the download, speeds it up where the server allows, and keeps track of it for you.
8 parallel connections
The file is split into segments that download at the same time (8 connections per file with Aurora Pro, 2 on Free), and segments are rebalanced as parts finish. This helps on servers that limit speed per connection.
Pause, continue, resume
Pause a download and continue it later. If the connection drops or a download fails, resume it instead of starting again.
One Download Manager list
Every download in one list with its history, progress and status, plus Open file and Open folder buttons.
Saved to your Downloads folder
Finished files go straight to your Windows Downloads folder, the same place you already look for them.
One switch to turn it on or off
"Download every file with Aurora" in Settings decides whether Aurora Tube or Chrome handles your downloads. Change it any time.

Follow the creators you study, capture what matters and keep your notes next to the video.
Creator Desk
Save channels and creators into a workspace, sort them into categories and see their new videos automatically.
Focus mode and mini player
Watch without distractions in Focus mode, or keep a video in a small player while you work.
Screenshots, frames and clips
Capture a frame or screenshot, take batch screenshots across a video, or save a short clip.
Bookmarks with notes

- YouTube
- TikTok
- X
- Vimeo
- and many more

Install the Helper
The extension guides you through installing Aurora Tube Helper, a small app for Windows that downloads and saves files on your PC.
Download as usual
