YoutubeDownloader is an application that lets you download videos from YouTube. You can copy-paste URL of any video, playlist or channel and download it directly to a format of your choice. It also supports searching by keywords, which is helpful if you want to quickly look up and download videos.
Note: This application uses YoutubeExplode under the hood to interact with YouTube. You can read this article to learn more about how it works.
