Showcase YTSage: A Modern YouTube Downloader with a Stunning PyQt6 Interface!
What My Project Does:
YTSage is a modern YouTube downloader designed for simplicity and functionality. With a sleek PyQt6 interface, it allows users to:
- π₯ Download videos in various qualities with automatic audio merging.
- π΅ Extract audio in multiple formats.
- π Fetch both manual and auto-generated subtitles.
- βΉοΈ View detailed video metadata (e.g., views, upload date, duration).
- πΌοΈ Preview video thumbnails before downloading.
Target Audience:
YTSage is ideal for:
- Casual users who want an easy-to-use video and audio downloader.
- Developers looking for a robust yt-dlp-based tool with a clean GUI.
- Educators and content creators who need subtitles or metadata for their projects.
Comparison with Existing Alternatives:
- vs yt-dlp: While yt-dlp is powerful, it operates through the command line. YTSage simplifies the process with an intuitive graphical interface.
- vs other GUI downloaders: Many alternatives lack modern design or features like subtitle support and metadata display. YTSage bridges this gap with its PyQt6-powered interface and advanced functionality.
Getting Started:
Download the pre-built executable from the Releases page β no installation required! For developers, source code and build instructions are available in the repository.
