There are numerous desktop or web-based download managers out there, and many of them are paid software. Thanks to the open-source youtube-dl and Wget, however, anyone can download videos and manage file downloads for free. The challenge is finding a suitable GUI for these command-line programs.

Yoodle is one of your options, an intuitive application that serves as a GUI for both youtube-dl and Wget. It enables you to generate the required command-line arguments with a couple of mouse clicks and start a download in seconds.

youtube-dl is a well-known program that enables you to grab clips from YouTube and numerous other video hosting websites. As a command-line utility, however, it isn’t exactly novice-friendly.

Yoodle allows you to generate the necessary CMD arguments by simply pasting a video’s URL and picking one of the quality presets. Unfortunately, though, you cannot select a specific format.

Wget has been around for many years, and it has been ported to all major operating systems. There are quite a few applications out there that serve as a GUI, allowing you to download files without using the command console.

Yoodle integrates the utility in its user interface, enabling you to download both videos and other files from the same window. It can even search for youtube-dl and Wget updates.

While it is easy to use, the application lacks advanced features. You can make changes to the generated code before starting the download, but it would have helped if there was a more intuitive way to customize various parameters.

In the end, Yoodle is certain to prove useful, as long as you are fine with having limited customization options or don’t mind editing the command-line code manually. It serves as a novice-friendly GUI for youtube-dl and Wget.
