No GUI for me I’m afraid
The terminal emulator is a gui
tty only 🗿
Cli ftw.
I’m not afraid of no GUI
A TUI, ytfzf.
I used to use Tube Archivist, but once I discovered that Pinchflat can integrate with existing media libraries (Plex, Jellyfin), I switched to that.
These were/are both hosted using Docker on Linux servers, accessed via the WebUI.
It’s a lot more work to set up, but having videos just show up in my Plex library with all the metadata is worth it.
On desktop (Linux) either Parabolic or none at all
I’m running Freetube for all my YouTube viewing in both Fedora and Windows at work, since it can subscribe without having a perosnalized feed and doesn’t requires an account. It can also download in variety of formats, so I suppose it does run ytdl in some capacity in the backend.
I just wrote my own web-based one. All HTML5, no JS, it’s lean and mean. It gets the job done but it ain’t pretty or full-featured.
Can we see it? 👀
You sure you want to? It’s pretty bare-bones and basic. Designed for mobile as that was my use case. If I were to present it publicly I would probably take a few days to polish it up and fix a few instances where it spontaneously breaks or doesn’t give a useful description of an error.

Made my own (windows only) to learn programming. Primarily because nothing beats Ctrl-C, Alt-Tab, Ctrl-V, Enter, Alt-Tab to download something. Then profiles, textfile with link support, and parallel downloads since some sites rate limit downloads.
Somewhat crude (don’t ask me how the profile are stored behind the scenes, it’s a mess)
Seal and YTDLnis are great on Android. On desktop I just use the CLI. Edit: I also saw a mention of Stacher in another thread: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/15250444
Parabolic and seal
None, isn’t the command line quicker for this thing?
