flutter-dl

youtube-dl is a well-known and appreciated program typically used by anyone who prefers to grab videos from YouTube via command lines or by developers who want to include this feature into their apps' functionality. flutter-dl is a simple and straightforward graphic interface for youtube-dl that enables the download of a single video via an interface.

It is worth mentioning that the application requires you to download youtube-dl and add it to path. While it is not mandatory, you can also download ffmpeg, if they prefer to have more options for the video or audio conversion.

The program is quite minimalistic and, for the time being, it supports the download of a single video at a time. To get started, you can simply paste the YouTube link in the dedicated field and select the output folders.

In terms of options, the app solely enables you to specify if they prefer to download audio and video or solely audio, in an MP3 format. Via the interface there is only one audio format, MP3, which works with most devices, so you can be sure not to experience any compatibility issues. Then again, if you prefer to grab videos in other audio formats, you can do so via youtube-dl.

Once these quick preferences are chosen, simply click the Download button and the app shows a status bar with the progression of the download.

Even though the app itself cannot do more than download a single video in a session, let's not forget that you have youtube-dl to compensate for the lack of features. You can include subtitles, select other formats, write thumbnails to disk, perform various workarounds, activate quiet mode, configure a sleep interval, so on and so forth. Flutter-dl is a simple tool that enables you to quickly grab a video as audio or multimedia from YouTube.
