Few words about...

YouTube video downloader with GUI written in Qt6

Desktop app built in Python using pytube and PySide6 (Qt6)

The purpose of this project is to develop a very simple (both simple to use and simple to read the source code) Python app, which can show and download (in the best quality available) YouTube videos based on the link provided.

Pleasant side features:

• no tracking of user's activity (except for what is built-in in YouTube OFC)
• no commercials shown
• deployed .exe file can run on Windows without installation (no Python or any libraries required)
• GUI looks good both on Windows and Linux (thanks to Qt6)

How to run?

Run Python script qtube.py in directory source. Be sure you have installed all libraries from requirements.txt.

On Windows, you can run .exe file without any installation (for download in Release section of repo).
