## What it is
VDM (Video Download Manager) is a cross-platform desktop GUI that wraps command-line video downloaders such as youtube-dl and annie. It lets users download videos from supported sites through a graphical interface instead of the terminal.

## Use cases
- download videos from youtube with a gui
- graphical front end for youtube-dl
- download online videos without using the command line
- manage video downloads from multiple sites
- wrap annie or youtube-dl in a desktop app

## When to avoid
- you need actively maintained software with recent updates
- you want a downloader with built-in extraction rather than wrapping external tools
- you need features beyond what youtube-dl/annie provide

## Facets

- maturity: maintenance
- function: gui, video-processing
