DownYouNow
A 100% free YouTube video downloader, powered by YouTube-DL and yt_dlp.
YouTube is an American online video sharing and social media platform headquartered in San Bruno, California.
Background
And so there's a reason why people would want to download videos from this site. Oftentimes, videos are being downloaded through external websites and sometimes through apps.
However, there's a problem with the former. While several of these sites have too many ads, there are also a good number that have been 'hacked' in such a way that the user gets tricked to open a malicious or clickbait site, with the website owners not possibly being able to fix it.
And so: here comes DownYouNow.
What it does
DownYouNow is a simple YouTube downloader powered by powered by YouTube-DL
and yt_dlp
.
Pass on a URL, set some output settings, and click the "Run" button beside it — it's that easy but detailed! And, after a few moments, your file will automatically get downloaded.
And best of all: you'll have a private server for that. That means there'll be no ads and no spying. And this is due to the app being hosted in Google CoLab; however, these servers will automatically get regenerated every few hours.
Re. Copyright
Just like any other YouTube downloader website or software, DownYouNow is only a medium. It only downloads and processes the video that you, the user, inputs; afterwards, they are deleted from the server. This means that this program can not host any illegal material. If you are caught downloading illegal material from YouTube, you can not blame this app; kindly check the codes out for proof.
Furthermore, all files hosted on YouTube belong to their respective owners. We respect their rights.
