What it is

A terminal UI that takes a video link from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X and many other sites, lists available resolutions with estimated sizes, and saves the chosen file or an mp3 to your Downloads folder. It fetches yt-dlp on first run and uses ffmpeg from your PATH or a bundled copy, so no Python setup is needed. People who want to save clips without visiting ad-laden download sites can run it with npx and navigate by keyboard or mouse.
