This is simply a GUI for said application for windows users, without the inconsistent GUI bloat, and weight, and possible viruses. youtube-dl is not included because it’s not my program, instead this application automatically downloads it. I don’t fully understand how youtube-dl works, so this is only including 3 donload options, Video, Audio (MP3), and Custom, as well as changable audio quality ranging from 8-320k. Custom lets you input your own youtube-dl arguments. Settings is not quite done yet, but will be included once I get around to finding a way to save them. I, then, need to find a way to move the newely created file to a customizable path set by the user, but for now it saves the files in the youtube-dl folder.

YouTube is one of the product names that will probably never require an introduction. The online video-sharing platform headquarter in California, United States. Created and ran by 3 friends in February 2005 until when it was purchased by Google in 2006, YouTube is among the world’s most visited websites; second only to Google Search.

YouTube is the one-stop-shop for all types of media content including podcasts, music videos, documentaries, movies, series, interviews, news, and cat videos. Seeing how popular it is, one can understand how it inspired the creation of an efficient youtube downloader, youtube-dl. Thanks to this fact, we can happily introduce today’s app to you.

youtube-dl-gui is a free, cross-platform Electron-based GUI for youtube-dl. Don’t know what youtube-dl is? It is an open-source command-line download manager program with which you can download audio and video from YouTube and at least 1000 other video hosting websites.

Although it is a command-line app, youtube-dl has, since January 2020, joined the list of the most starred GitHub projects – evidence of its approval rating among Internet video downloaders.

youtube-dl-gui is an open-source application that brings the efficiency of youtube-dl to users who prefer working with graphical interfaces. Before it, we covered two similar apps namely YouTube-DLG and MPS-YouTube. If their features didn’t get you sold on the idea then check out the features packed in youtube-dl-gui.
