Open Video Downloader is a cross-platform desktop GUI for yt-dlp/youtube-dl built with Rust, Tauri, and Vue + TypeScript. It lets users download videos, audio, subtitles, and metadata from 1000+ websites without using the command line.
Use cases
- download youtube videos with a gui
- extract audio from videos
- download entire playlists at once
- save subtitles and metadata from videos
- choose video quality and output format like mp4 or mkv
- download videos without using the command line
When to choose
- you want a friendly desktop app instead of yt-dlp CLI commands
- you need cross-platform support on Windows, macOS, or Linux
- you want playlist, subtitle, and audio extraction features with quality control
- you prefer automatic updates for both the app and yt-dlp
When to avoid
- you need a headless or server-side download solution
- you only want a CLI tool for scripting
