CLUSTER AUDIO-DESKTOP-DOWNLOADS · 8 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-08-13

Desktop YouTube downloaders

This cluster comprises desktop applications for downloading YouTube videos as MP4 or extracting MP3 audio, offering features like progress display, destination selection, and adjustable audio quality. The dated history is too thin to read a shape from, with only one entry before the index start, indicating the cluster predates the index or its members are largely undated. Traction leaders are yt-downloader with 2 stars and YT-Downloader with 1 star, while stash trails with 0 stars.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
