## What it is
Youwee is a cross-platform desktop GUI for yt-dlp built with Tauri, supporting video downloads from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and 1800+ sites. It adds AI-powered video summaries and natural-language video processing, plus plugins, channel following, and remote control via Telegram.

## Use cases
- download youtube videos with a gui
- download tiktok and instagram videos
- batch download entire playlists
- get ai summaries of youtube videos
- cut videos by time range while downloading
- follow youtube channels and auto-download new videos
- control downloads remotely via telegram
- extract audio from videos

## When to avoid
- you only need a lightweight command-line downloader without a gui
- you need a headless server-side download service
- you require DRM-protected or paid streaming content downloads
