Permissions Justifications

activeTab

We use the activeTab permission so the extension can interact with the currently open Skool lesson page when the user activates the extension. This is necessary to detect and process downloadable video content on the page.

clipboardRead

The clipboardRead permission is used so the extension can read download links or other relevant information from the clipboard, if the user chooses to copy a video URL or lesson link for processing within the extension.

contextMenus

We use the contextMenus permission to add right-click options, making it easy for users to initiate downloads or perform actions related to Skool classroom videos directly from the context menu.

cookies

The cookies permission is required to access authentication tokens and session cookies for Skool.com. This allows the extension to properly access and download videos that require user authentication.

downloads

We use the downloads permission to save videos from Skool classroom lessons to the user’s device for offline viewing. This is a core function of the extension.

notifications

The notifications permission is used to inform the user about the progress, completion, or errors related to downloads, improving transparency and user experience.

offscreen

The offscreen permission allows us to process video data or perform background tasks (such as fetching video streams) without interrupting the user’s browsing experience.

scripting

We use the scripting permission to inject and execute scripts on Skool lesson pages. This is necessary to identify video elements and facilitate downloading.

webNavigation

The webNavigation permission is needed to detect when the user navigates to new Skool lesson pages. This allows the extension to automatically update its state and provide download options on the correct pages.

About

Skool is an online community platform that combines discussion forums, online courses, and private groups into one simple, distraction-free space designed for creators, educators, and entrepreneurs who want to build engaged communities, deliver content, and grow their businesses—all.

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 skool.com classroom videos even if you're not technically inclined.
