Lynx Basic, Pro and the 2-week free trial

What stays free in Lynx Basic, what Pro adds, and how the 2-week trial works: no card, no account, and what Lynx Basic keeps downloading afterwards.

Lynx Basic

Lynx Basic is free with no time limit and no ads. It downloads files from any direct link at full speed, over up to 8 connections per file, 3 files at a time, and resumes them when a connection drops. It also downloads 10 whole videos a day from web pages, up to 1080p. The sound of a whole video (MP3 or M4A) counts as one of the 10, and a new 10 starts each day. With Turbo Mode, your iPhone joins a big file download, so it arrives dramatically faster. The browser extension catches big file downloads and sends videos to Lynx, and Lynx Notch shows your downloads, plays your music and keeps your clipboard for the last 24 hours. Every download you already made stays where it is.

Pro

Pro removes the daily limit and downloads video in the highest available quality, up to 8K. It adds clips of any length, vertical, square and GIF clips with several parts at once, playlists, subtitles, Download Later, converting video and sound, Turbo Mode for video, up to 32 connections per file, up to 10 downloads at a time, the notch’s Pro tools and priority support. See Pricing for the full comparison.

The trial

When you first open Lynx, every Pro feature is on for 2 weeks. You’re never charged automatically. When the trial ends, Lynx becomes Lynx Basic: it keeps downloading files and 10 whole videos a day, and your downloads stay where they are.

Buy Pro at any time from Pricing and activate it to turn the Pro features back on.

More days of Pro
