A beautiful, cross-platform downloader for YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and 1800+ sites (yt-dlp GUI) with AI video summaries and post-processing

What it solves

Youwee provides a comprehensive graphical user interface (GUI) for yt-dlp, simplifying the process of downloading and processing media from over 1,800 websites. It eliminates the need for command-line interaction while adding advanced features for AI-driven content analysis and video editing.

How it works

It acts as a powerful wrapper around yt-dlp and integrates with various AI providers (Gemini, OpenAI, and Ollama) and tools like Whisper for subtitle generation. It also includes a browser extension for one-click downloads, a Telegram bot for remote control, and a plugin system for automating post-download workflows.

Who it’s for

Users who want a user-friendly way to archive videos, creators who need to extract audio or subtitles, and researchers who want to summarize video content using AI without manually managing complex command-line tools.

Highlights

  • AI Integration: Summarize videos using LLMs and edit videos (cut, resize, convert) using natural language commands.
  • Subtitle Workshop: A full suite for creating and refining subtitles, featuring AI translation, grammar fixing, and Whisper-based generation.
  • Browser Bridge: Chromium and Firefox extensions that allow users to send videos directly to the app queue.
  • Automation: Support for channel following with auto-downloads and a signed plugin system for custom workflows.
  • Remote Control: Ability to manage downloads via Telegram commands.
