PageHook is the ultimate power toolkit — detect, extract, and download any file from any webpage, right on your iPhone. • DOWNLOAD ANYTHING PageHook detects PDFs, images, videos, audio, HLS streams, and files the moment they appear on a page. No more hunting for links or screenshotting content. If it's on the page, PageHook finds it. • HISTORY & LIBRARY Everything you scan or download is saved to your personal library. Browse in list, grid, or grouped view. Sort by date, name, size, or file type. Mini previews for PDFs, documents, and videos let you see what you have at a glance. Batch select and share multiple files at once. • VISUAL SEARCH Found an image on a page? Use it to search for similar images or find its source across the web using reverse image search. • SOCIAL EMBEDS Detect embedded YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, and Vimeo content on any page. See the username or channel and open directly. • DOWNLOAD QUEUE Add URLs to a background download queue. Set downloads to Wi-Fi only, schedule them for a specific time, and get a push notification the moment each one finishes. • WATCHLIST Monitor any webpage for changes. PageHook checks it on your schedule — every 30 minutes, hourly, daily, or weekly — and alerts you instantly when the content changes. • STORAGE MANAGER See a visual breakdown of everything you've downloaded, sorted by file type and source domain. Delete by category, clear the cache, and free up space in seconds. • BATCH TOOLS Rename dozens of files at once using built-in templates like photo_1, download_001, or your own custom pattern. Find and remove duplicate downloads with one tap. • DEVELOPER TOOLS Inject custom CSS and JavaScript into any site, set a custom User-Agent, force desktop mode, unlock right-click and text selection, export page tables as CSV, and reveal password fields. • SITE STATS Track exactly how many files you've downloaded from each domain, broken down by type, with a visual bar chart. • AUDIO WAVEFORM PREVIEW Visualize audio files before downloading. Tap the waveform to scrub and preview any track directly in the app. • APP LOCK Protect your download history with Face ID or Touch ID. PageHook locks automatically when you leave and requires biometric authentication to return. • Desktop mode Share URLs and images to PageHook directly from Browser, Photos, or any other app — they go straight into your download queue. • FLOATING BUTTON A draggable PageHook button sits on every page in the browser, giving you instant access without opening the toolbar. • REAL-TIME SYNC Everything scanned in the browser extension appears instantly in the native app. Trigger a scan of your active tab remotely from the app with a single tap.
