simple-ytdlp - Send to app by WhisperScript

Send what you are watching to simple-ytdlp - with one click.

simple-ytdlp is a free desktop app that downloads videos and audio from YouTube and many other sites. This extension is its remote control in your browser: open a video or playlist, click the icon, and it appears in the app's download list. No copying and pasting of links.

HOW IT WORKS

Install the simple-ytdlp app (Windows, macOS, Linux): https://github.com/WhisperScript/simple-ytdlp/releases/latest
Open the app, then click the extension's icon on any video or playlist page.
The first time, the app asks you once to allow the extension.
FEATURES

One click (or Alt+Shift+D) sends the current page to the app.
Right-click any link: "Download link with simple-ytdlp" or "... as MP3".
Choose in the settings whether the icon downloads video or audio.
Playlists, duplicates, pause and resume are handled by the app.
PRIVACY The extension talks only to the simple-ytdlp app on your own computer (127.0.0.1). It sends the address of the page you click on - nothing else, to no one else. No account, no tracking. The app only accepts requests from an extension you approved.

This extension needs the simple-ytdlp desktop app. Open source: https://github.com/WhisperScript/simple-ytdlp
