Phone shortcut
Threads Video Download App
Use the downloader as a home-screen shortcut on iPhone or Android. There is no store install and no account.
Paste a public Threads URL above to preview videos, photos, Reels, and carousels.
Paste a public post you have the right to save. Choosing Load media means you accept the Terms of Service.
Add ThreadsVideoDL to your home screen
Android
Open this site in Chrome. Use the browser menu and choose Add to Home screen or Install page. The shortcut is the website, not an APK.
A home-screen icon is convenient if you save posts often. It is still the browser page. It does not get a special private API, and it does not keep a cloud library of your downloads. Files continue to land in Files, Downloads, or your computer’s download folder.
Why there is no store listing yet
An app in the App Store or Play Store can be nice later. It is not required to save a public post, and a rushed APK from an unknown site is a worse trade than a bookmark. If a listing appears in the future, it will be linked from this domain. Until then, treat other “official ThreadsVideoDL” apps as unrelated.
Frequently asked questions
Is the shortcut free?
Yes. Adding it to the home screen does not create a subscription.
Does the icon log me into Threads?
No. You still paste a public link. The shortcut never asks for a Threads password.
Can I delete it?
Yes. Remove it like any other home-screen shortcut. The website remains available in the browser.
