yt-cmd

An interactive YouTube downloader for the terminal.

What it does

yt-cmd wraps yt-dlp in a terminal UI. Paste a YouTube URL, pick a quality, and download without memorizing flags.

Status: Active

Quick start

Run it in an interactive terminal:

npx yt-cmd

Or use bunx yt-cmd or npx yvm-yt.

Video downloads prefer MP4 and fall back to MKV. Audio downloads are MP3. The app checks for yt-dlp and ffmpeg and can offer to install missing dependencies.
