ViDL
ViDL is a lightweight graphical user interface (GUI) for youtube-dl, a command-line tool for downloading videos from YouTube and hundreds of other video hosting sites. It simplifies the download process by providing an easy-to-use Mac app interface, eliminating the need to use Terminal commands. Users can paste video URLs, select quality preferences, and download videos directly to their Mac. It's ideal for content creators, researchers, and anyone who needs to archive or work with video content legally.
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionViDL (version 1.0.2) is Intel-only and the developer has not released a native Apple Silicon or Universal Binary version. The app appears to be inactive — there have been no updates since its original release, and there is no public roadmap for Apple Silicon support. Since you're on Apple Silicon, you should transition to an actively maintained alternative. We recommend **youtube-dl-gui** or **Downie**, both of which offer native Apple Silicon support and provide similar video download functionality with modern, maintained codebases. Downie in particular is a polished, full-featured Mac app with extensive format support and active development.
