Installation

Homebrew (recommended) — it manages Python, tkinter, yt-dlp, and ffmpeg for you.

brew install hiimkimchi/ytdlpgui/ytdlpgui

To add the app to /Applications (so it appears in Finder and Spotlight), run once after install:

ln -sf "/opt/homebrew/opt/ytdlpgui/Applications/ytdlp gui.app" "/Applications/ytdlp gui.app"

Then launch from the terminal or by opening the app from Finder/Spotlight:

ytdlpgui

Homebrew installs yt-dlp and ffmpeg as dependencies if they aren't already present.

Install via pip

pip install git+https://github.com/hiimkimchi/ytdlp-gui.git
