A cross-platform graphical interface wrapper for the yt-dlp command-line video downloader, written in Python with PySide6. It lets users download videos through presets that map to yt-dlp arguments, configurable via a TOML file.
Use cases
- download youtube videos with a gui
- graphical front end for yt-dlp
- download videos without using the command line
- save mp4 with embedded thumbnail from youtube
- portable video downloader for windows
- customize download presets for yt-dlp
When to choose
- you want a simple GUI on top of yt-dlp instead of memorizing CLI flags
- you need a portable Windows build with no installation
- you want to define reusable download presets in a config file
When to avoid
- you need advanced yt-dlp features not exposed by the presets
- you prefer a fully scriptable or headless downloader
- you need a GUI with playlist management or a built-in browser
