Three ways to keep a short-drama — one gives you real files.
If you want to hold on to a 红果 (Hongguo) drama, you have three options. Here’s how a downloader stacks up against screen recording and the “download” button inside streaming apps.
| Hongguo Downloader | Screen recording | In-app downloadDramaBox, YOUKU… | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Saves real .mp4 files you own | ✓ | ✓ | ✕ |
| Full 1080p, no on-screen clutter | ✓ | ~ | ~ |
| Batch a whole series at once | ✓ | ✕ | ✕ |
| Faster than watching in real time | ✓ | ✕ | ~ |
| Still plays after it leaves the app | ✓ | ✓ | ✕ |
| No account, login or emulator | ✓ | ✓ | ✕ |
| Cost | Free · 2/day key for unlimited | Free | Coins / subscription |
Screen recording is free but slow, lower quality, and one episode at a time. In-app downloads stay locked inside the app and disappear when the show — or your subscription — does. A downloader gives you clean 1080p files you keep, a whole series in a fraction of the time.
What’s new in v1.0.0.71.
A cleaner, rounder look — plus folder windows that open right in front of the app.
Every button, tab, chip and menu now shares one smooth, rounded style, in light and dark.
Flip between day and night with the new pill switch in the top corner.
Update all · Quality · Speed · Series now sit together in one control — in the Library and on the download bar.
Open folder and Set folder now open right in front of the app, with the modern Windows folder picker — Chinese folder names included.
Also: closing the app now closes it completely · security improvements · reliability fixes · your license and library carry over when you update.
Free to start. Unlimited when you want it.
Use it free every day. Go unlimited with a card — your license key arrives instantly, on-screen and by email.

Questions, answered.
Is it really free?
Yes. You can download 2 dramas a day on the free plan, at full quality, with no account. If you want unlimited downloads, pick a plan above and pay by card — your key is delivered instantly.
Can I download AI-generated dramas (AI 短剧)?
Yes. If a drama is on Hongguo (红果) you can download it — including the new wave of AI-generated short-dramas (AI 短剧 / AI 微短剧). Just search the title or paste a share link, and keep every episode offline in full quality.
Do I need an account or login?
No. There’s nothing to sign into. The app runs on your own computer in guest mode — no account of yours is ever exposed.
Do I need an emulator, Python or Java?
No. The one-click installer bundles everything it needs. Just download, run, and go — no Android emulator, no extra software to set up.
Where do my downloads go?
Into a folder you choose (your Videos folder by default). Each drama gets its own folder with every episode saved as a plain, playable .mp4 — files you fully own and can watch offline anytime.
What do I get for a license key?
Unlimited downloads with no daily cap. One key activates one PC, and you can move it to another computer yourself — once every 7 days.
Is it safe to install?
It installs per-user (no admin rights needed) and runs entirely on your own machine. Grab it straight from the official download button on this page.
Your next binge, saved for good.
