Airy
Airy is a YouTube downloader and video management utility for macOS that allows users to download videos, playlists and channels from YouTube for offline viewing and archival. It supports batch downloading, quality selection, audio-only extraction, and format conversion to common video and audio codecs. The app was primarily used by people wanting to save YouTube content locally or convert it to different media formats.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionAiry has been discontinued by its developer and is no longer supported or maintained. The app is Intel-only with no native Apple Silicon build ever released, and development ceased before the transition to Apple Silicon began in earnest. The Intel build currently runs under Rosetta 2, but Apple is removing Rosetta in macOS 28 (September 2028), meaning this app will stop launching entirely on that release and beyond. You should migrate to a maintained alternative now rather than waiting for the deadline. yt-dlp (a free, open-source command-line tool) is the most powerful and actively maintained successor for downloading YouTube videos and is natively available on Apple Silicon via Homebrew (brew install yt-dlp). For a graphical interface, consider MediaHuman YouTube Downloader or ClipGrab, both of which run natively on M-series Macs and are actively maintained. If you have existing Airy project files, export or convert them to a portable format (such as plain text lists of URLs) before switching, as no automatic migration path exists.
