It's simple, no UI bloat, can export audio, video and I don't have to mess with yt-dlp which is huge and the documentation is like reading a whole book xD.

Though barebone yt-dlp allows way more :)

I haven't gotten around to spinning it up yet, but I was just looking into this myself and was going to try out Pinchflat. If anyone has used it and has any feedback I'd love to hear it.

I was between it and Tube Archivist.

I have a flask app with a bunch of home utilities I've written and one of them is a wrapper around yt-dlp that takes a URL and saves it to a Plex library location.

Then there's a bookmarklet I use from desktop Firefox when I'm on a youtube (or other) video page that sends the current URL to that endpoint.

Also I can "share" any video URL on my phone to this web service, and I use that all the time from Newpipe when I want to watch something on my TV instead of on the phone.

I use archivebox, it's a more general purpose website archiver but it runs yt-dlp against sites to grab videos.

I’ll add I’ve been using YouTube-DL-Material.
