Questions

How long can I download a story?

Only while it's live: stories disappear from Instagram after 24 hours, and after that there's nothing left to download. Highlights stay up but aren't supported yet.

Why does it say the story isn't available?

The story has expired, been deleted, or belongs to a private account. KeepClip can only reach stories from public accounts.

Can I paste a link to all of someone's stories?

Not yet. Open the single story you want and copy that link, so you download exactly the one you mean.

Is it free?

Yes. There's nothing to sign up for and nothing to install.
