About

MediaHuman YouTube Downloader is a macOS app for saving videos and audio from YouTube and other supported websites. The supplied Homebrew cask installs the standard app as MediaHuman YouTube Downloader.app.

The app can download entire playlists or channels and monitor selected ones for newly uploaded videos. It supports simultaneous downloads and offers available video resolutions, including 4K and 8K when provided by the source. For audio, it can extract a track as MP3 and identify artist and song information for ID3 tags. Other listed capabilities include clipboard link detection, drag-and-drop links, and exporting downloads to iTunes/Music.app. Supported sites listed by the publisher include YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion, Facebook, Twitch, Reddit, SoundCloud, TikTok, and Bilibili.

To install, run brew install --cask mediahuman-youtube-downloader, then open MediaHuman YouTube Downloader from Applications. The publisher lists an internet connection as a requirement. This cask installs the macOS application; the publisher’s Windows and Ubuntu downloads are separate offerings. Available resolutions and downloads depend on the source content and supported site.
