Reduce ordinary in-app records
Some authorized workflows should not remain in the application's regular history surfaces. Private Session provides a separate path for that specific record-keeping need.
Private Session
Keep a download session out of ordinary app History and Library.
Private Session separates eligible work from DownloaderAI's ordinary Queue, History, Library, Archive, and Transcription records. It is a bounded local app behavior—not anonymity and not a way around access controls.
Download for WindowsSeparate the session, retain the final file
Run an eligible public download in Private Session. DownloaderAI avoids its ordinary records, but the completed file remains at the destination you selected until you remove it.

How to use this workflow

Start the separate workflow before adding the URL.
Choose and download
