Not sure which Mac you have? Apple menu → About This Mac. If it says
Apple M1, M2, M3 or M4, take the Apple silicon one.
On Ubuntu 24.04 or newer, and Mint, Pop!_OS or Zorin built on it, take the
.deb: it installs the AppArmor profile the app needs there, which an
AppImage cannot.
The SHA-256 of every file is in SHA256SUMS:
sha256sum --check --ignore-missing SHA256SUMS in the folder you downloaded to.
If macOS says the app is damaged
It is not damaged. The app is not signed with a paid Apple developer
certificate, so macOS quarantines it. Copy it into Applications, then
run this once, in Terminal:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/Universal Video Downloader.app"
What changed
- fix(queue): the fresh run after stale saved JSON starts without the stale run's partial files
- fix(queue): only a load error or a refused media address counts as stale saved JSON
- fix(queue): reuse the detect JSON for YouTube only, whose signed addresses outlast the 15 minutes
- fix(queue): the saved detect JSON is keyed by the cookies file's contents, not only its path
- fix(queue): a removed or cleared row leaves no skip-the-saved-JSON mark behind
- fix(engine): the launch clean-up leaves a download or unpack in progress alone
- perf(engine): unpack and verify the engine without blocking the main process
- fix(engine): the single file and older copies are deleted only once the onedir copy has started
- fix(engine): a failing onedir build backs off instead of being fetched daily, and never overwrites a running single file
- perf(queue): a download soon after its detect starts from the detect's JSON
- perf(engine): run the onedir yt-dlp build, verified against the release checksums
- fix(home): remembered detects are forgotten when cookies, the proxy or the browser fallback change
- perf(app): taskbar progress follows the queue's events instead of polling it
- fix(home): Ctrl/⌘+Enter acts on the link in the field, not on an older result
- fix(home): Ctrl/⌘+Enter in the batch list is left to the list
- fix(home): detect stages and previews are matched by request id alone
- fix(home): an adopted prefetch keeps the title and poster its preview already brought
- feat(app): the window narrows to 720px, where the tabs go icon-only
- fix(detect): a login or age gate off YouTube still gets the signed-in browser pass
- fix(resolvers): a cached load shared between resolves no longer ends with the first caller's cancel
- fix(home): the clipboard prefetch is engine-only, for known hosts, and called off when the strip goes
- fix(home): download now only for hosts the engine knows, and a picker page fails with a pointer to Home
- docs(design): the master file reflects the new tokens, motion rule, queue anatomy and settings rail
- feat(watch): the watching screen says what it does under its heading
- feat(nav): icon-only tabs on a narrow window, the queue's progress on its tab and on the taskbar
- feat(settings): a search at the top of the rail, and the rail in two tiers
- style(theme): tighter corner radii, and a 40px floor for the primary button
- feat(app): the window says it takes a dropped link while one is dragged over it
- feat(queue): two-line rows with a full-width track, one primary action and a menu, in sections
- feat(home): once there is a history, Home shows what is running and what just finished
- feat(home): a two-column result card whose download button says what it will fetch
- feat(home): download while the formats are still loading, and Ctrl/⌘+Enter to do it from the field
- perf(home): a link detected minutes ago opens at once, and a copied one is detected while it is offered
- feat(home): the detecting card shows the poster, title and uploader before the engine answers
- feat(theme): a skeleton token that can be seen on a panel, and a gate that keeps it so
- perf(app): the view host fades in on a CSS keyframe, not the frame clock
- perf(detect): an unknown site's page is scraped while the engine probes it
- fix(home): the detect stage starts over with every link and ends on every exit
- fix(resolvers): cancelling a detect or a download stops the site resolver's requests
- fix(queue): a pause and resume mid-resolve no longer fails or doubles the download
- perf(detect): no page scrape after the site has already said no
- perf(detect): a YouTube channel lists its Videos tab instead of extracting the whole channel
- fix(home): a link pasted into the focused field is detected at once

run this once, in Terminal:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/Universal Video Downloader.app"
What changed
- fix(merge): the backup knows the two settings added beside it, and the READMEs name AniLiberty and backups
- fix(a11y): a dialog reopened while it fades out takes Esc, Tab and focus again
- fix(history): rows read back after a lock clears no longer pop a notification each
- fix(stores): a disk that fills mid-save no longer truncates a store or deletes its backup
- fix(backup): an imported proxy that signs in says its password has to be typed again
- fix(cli): an AppImage's old uvd script no longer hides the package's command
- refactor(tabs): the reveal comment sits on the function it describes
- fix(a11y): trim handles take Home, End and Page keys, and disclosures say whether they are open
- feat(window): caption buttons reach the corner, speak the app's language and follow every maximise
- fix(engine): the refresh, the Settings button and the first install never replace the binary at once
- fix(resolvers): a followed AniLiberty release downloads in 1080p, not 480p
- feat(search): Dailymotion, Niconico and Bilibili return real results, and adult sites are opt-in
- docs(readme):
uvd -q, and installing the command from Settings on macOS and with an AppImage - feat(settings): back up settings, watched series and shares to a file, and restore them
- fix(stores): a damaged or locked settings, history or watch file is recovered instead of overwritten
- feat(a11y): every dialog closes on Esc, keeps Tab inside and gives focus back
- feat(settings): the terminal command installs from Settings -> system on macOS and with an AppImage
- feat(resolvers): AniLiberty releases open as an episode picker with 480p, 720p and 1080p
- feat(updates): the app checks for a new version every six hours and opens the matching download
- fix(engine): the yt-dlp refresh retries hourly and on waking, and counts only a real success
- feat(i18n): sizes, times and counts speak the interface language, with real plural forms
- feat(cli):
uvd -q 720 <link>caps the video height from a terminal

- fix(downloads): stopping, removing and clearing leave nothing half-done behind
- feat(settings): the filename template shows the name it would give a video, and the same video from a playlist
- feat(playlists): numbered files in a folder named after the playlist (switchable on the card), and playlists, series and batches show where they save

- feat(release): publish signed apt and dnf repositories, and an AUR and winget path
- feat(automation): "delete from this computer" is on the watch screen, on by default, and takes everything the download left

- fix(review): error reports - keep cookie lines out, reach FormSubmit, and ask about unsupported sites
- feat(reports): offer to send the developer a report when a link fails
- fix(design): real buttons on the Automation screens, one solid per state, a readable live badge, Day-visible quiet buttons and long paths that wrap
- fix(home): Esc stops a running detect and spares the result under an overlay, and Ctrl+V works on every screen
- fix(toasts): errors stay long enough to read, can be held and closed, and reach screen readers
