Finally I decided to make my own :slight_smile: (also available on Mac and Linux :slight_smile: )

It’s a new concept — an app designed to embrace the native features of the operating system, through the clipboard manager, native notifications, and interaction via the system tray.

I will release it under GPL when it will ready.

It will be the best GUI for yt-dlp — maybe not the most feature-packed, but without a doubt the best one. (It’s not like the competition is that fierce anyway, haha.)

170 MB right after installing??? sounds sketchy like all other downloaders unless he sucks. it’s also missing the search feature which sucks.

35

I don’t really see the problem — it’s pretty normal when there are native libraries to include. Here, you’ve got all of Python plus all of FFmpeg. I wouldn’t say it’s excellent, but it’s not bad either. Sure, like many open-source apps, it’s not amazing UX-wise, but it’s far from the worst. I also don’t understand why a downloader would even need a search feature.

36

normally when you sign and compile the app it’s supposed to become way smaller, I compiled a python project that has all of python and after installing its under 35 mb.

searching e.g. I know a single came out and I don’t have link.

that’s why I use my own cli script

37

Are you sure you’re talking about an Android project?

here there are native libraries like ffmpeg

38

as I said I made an Android app with all python in it. (it fetches an external script from a specific folder and runs it which lets me change the back-end easily.) so while it doesn’t include ffmpeg I don’t think that should make that much of a difference but maybe you’re right

39

I know this is not what your looking for as it’s not GUI nor ytdlp though I figured I’d drop it here in case anyone might want to use this.

requires pip install pytubefix.

simple CLI works on Pydroid

please provide feedback.

Here it is, I’ve released a first version. There’s still quite a lot to improve, but I think it’s a good start.
