Twitch Recover is a free tool that lets users view, recover, and download all types of Twitch videos, including VODs, clips, highlights, and live streams, even sub-only or deleted VODs. It is written in Java with a Go rewrite in progress, distributed as a CLI executable.

Use cases

  • recover deleted twitch vods
  • download sub-only twitch vods
  • get m3u8 feed links for twitch vods
  • download twitch clips and highlights
  • record a live twitch stream
  • find old twitch stream urls

When to choose

  • you need to recover or download Twitch VODs that are deleted or sub-only
  • you want a free standalone tool for Twitch video retrieval
  • you need VOD/clip feed URLs for other tools

When to avoid

  • you need a polished GUI (only available in future 2.0 beta)
  • Twitch has fully purged the VOD from its servers, as recovery is then impossible
  • you need a stable, actively maintained cross-platform library API (Go rewrite is still alpha)
