YT Downloader v1.0.0

YT Downloader v1.0.0

A fast, offline desktop app for grabbing video and audio from YouTube, Vimeo, SoundCloud, and 1000+ other sites. No accounts, no cloud, no ads.

⬇️ Download & install

1. Download YT.Downloader_x64-setup.exe from Assets below.
2. Run it. Windows SmartScreen may warn (the build is unsigned) → More info → Run anyway.
3. Launch the app. yt-dlp + ffmpeg download themselves on first run — nothing else to set up.

Requirements: Windows 10/11 (64-bit). ~10 MB installer; first launch fetches the downloader tools (~50 MB).

✨ Highlights

🎥 Video	up to 1080p, or whatever the site offers
🎵 Audio	one-click MP3 extraction
📃 Playlists	fetch, cherry-pick, queue the whole thing
⚡ Queue	3 downloads at once, live speed + ETA
⏯️ Control	pause / resume / cancel that truly kills the process
🕘 History	remembers what you grabbed
💬 Subtitles	burned into the MP4 or saved as .srt

⚠️ Known quirks

• Instagram / X / private Vimeo — log in via Chrome first; the app borrows your cookies.
• Long videos pause on a purple bar — that's ffmpeg merging, not a freeze. Let it finish.
