Circle.so is a community platform for creators, educators, and businesses to host courses, coaching programs, and member communities. However, like many course platforms, they don't provide a way to download the videos that you (the actual users) pay for access to — or even offer an offline viewing option.
So we created a way for you to download your Circle.so community videos even if you're not technically inclined.
