Which Black Hole app are you looking for?
The short answer: this site, blhole.com, is not the BlackHole Android app by fawazapp, and we are not connected to its developer. Nor are we Blackhole Spliter, an iPhone app by another developer, or any of the other apps with the name. We are a video downloader that runs in your browser and happens to share the name. If a tutorial for one of those apps brought you here, you can download the video on this page, with nothing to install.

What changed with the BlackHole Android app
The app on Google Play called BlackHole, by fawazapp, was for years a popular way to save videos on Android, and many tutorials still show it doing that. As of 23 September 2026, its listing describes it as “a small app to remove sound from the video”, and recent reviews there report that downloads no longer work.
We can't speak for its developer, and we don't know what it will do next. What we can offer is the download itself: paste a link above and it is done in your browser.
On an iPhone

Want an app anyway?

On a Windows PC or a Mac there is BlackHole Desktop, a real installable app that downloads on your own machine at your connection's full speed: the BlackHole video downloader for PC and the Mac app.
