I just came across this amazing app. Idk much about yt-dlp but the app seems to fully support it, even with custom commands and stuff. Of course I tested it and it worked well (with just 1 video fail to download out of approximately 10). Though by default it seems to download videos without audio so make sure to click the small “Audio” button in the download menu and enable it.

I recently saw someone recommending using a privacy respecting frontend for searching videos and downloading them instead of watching them online for better privacy and consistency so I hope someone will find it useful… or just use it to download videos because that’s what most people do anyways.

Also I hope I’m not copying anyone’s post here. My Lemmy client doesn’t support search so I can’t check if there are any posts about this app.

P. S. Excuse my usage of the foul phrase “YouTube downloader” to describe this app. I just wanted to make it easier for less tech savvy people to understand what this app is and how it can be useful for them.
