Snag is a small, fast desktop front end for yt-dlp. Paste a link, pick what
you want, and it downloads: from YouTube and more than a thousand other
sites.
Video with sound, audio only, or video without sound
Pick the quality and the file type for each download
Pick items out of a playlist, or take all of them
A queue that survives a restart, and a searchable history
Clip a section of a video, split by chapters, save subtitles
Remux, extract audio, mute, or turn a file into a GIF
Snag keeps yt-dlp up to date by itself, because sites change and an old
yt-dlp is the usual reason a download stops working.
