I had been using KMTTG for years. KMTTG is no longer supported and it failed as soon as I upgraded to Big Sur. I stumbled upon this little app and it is great! Much slicker interface and does a better job on compression. Really uses up CPU cycles and everything else on the machine bogs down. There is conversation out there on how to manage that. Another alternative is to limit the times that auto transfer/encryptions can occur. SOOOO glad I found this! Many thanks to the creator.

What is cTiVo?

cTiVo is a free Mac application to download shows from your TiVo (Roamio, Premiere, HD, S3 or S2 devices) and convert them to many popular formats and devices. Its goal is to be extremely simple to set up and use, but very flexible.

cTiVo provides complete hands-off operation: once you choose or subscribe to your shows, everything else is automated. For example, after you've set it up, every morning, you will find all your favorite shows from your TiVos loaded onto your iPhone or iPad. And although using cTiVo is very easy, you also have complete control over what it does.

cTiVo is inspired by the great work done on iTiVo, but written in Cocoa/Objective C for better performance and compatibility. Current or former users of iTiVo will find a detailed comparison and upgrade path described in iTivo Users.
