yutub

You may find yourself in need of a tool that can help you download YouTube videos to your computer, allowing you to play them at any time, on various devices, without depending on a stable Internet connection.
yutub is a simple application that you can use to save YouTube videos to local storage devices, in various formats and resolutions. It is easy-to-use, but features a basic and outdated interface.

Can easily generate download links

After launching the application, all you need to do is paste the URL of the desired video and have the program generate download links. These are sorted depending on file format, size and video resolution.
Then, you can simply copy the generated link and paste it in a web browser or have the application automatically perform this action.
If you want to further speed up the link generation process, you can disable the extraction of video file size. This way, the clips are still sorted automatically, but you cannot view their exact size.
Note that this application can only create download links for the 720p or lower resolution versions of YouTube videos.

Does not allow you to preview videos and needs to be used together with a web browser

You cannot preview clips before downloading them, which would have been useful for easily confirming that your are saving the right video.
Also, the application cannot download content, as it requires an external web browser to be used for this task.

Minimalistic user interface

Visually, yutub is not very impressive, as it features a simple and rather outdated interface. It is, however, easy-to-use and should pose no problems to novices.
All in all, yutub is a useful application that can help you save your favorite YouTube videos to local storage devices. It generates download links that can be loaded in any web browser of your choice and features a simple, if somewhat outdated interface.
