tartube — a GUI front-end for youtube-dl and yt-dlp 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

tartube

that's it. that's the whole vibe. no flags, no args, just send it 💅

---

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

okay so Tartube is a GUI front-end for youtube-dl, yt-dlp and other compatible video downloaders, and it's written in Python 3 / Gtk 3 — literally the dream combo 🫶

it's a convenient way to download videos from YouTube and hundreds of other sites, no cap. or, if you're more of a "just give me the list" girlie, it can just fetch a list of those videos for you instead. both are valid, both are iconic ✨

---

💜 OPTIONS 💜

the tartube executable does not take any options. not one. not even a little one. that's the whole tea ☕

fr fr, don't go passing it flags, there's nothing to pass them to 💀
