Vesper Orbit

Vesper Orbit is a macOS desktop application that crawls a single domain breadth-first and downloads its media (PDFs, images, audio, video) into a clean per-site folder in your Downloads. It is designed for librarians, archivists, researchers, and anyone who needs to bulk-download media from a website they don't own.

Orbit walks the site through a real Chrome via Puppeteer, captures media via the rendered DOM, and downloads with original filenames into typed subfolders, with a manifest CSV mapping every source URL to its local file.
