CLUSTER DESKTOP-PLAYLISTS-YOUTUBE · 9 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-07-20
Desktop video and audio downloaders
This cluster consists of desktop applications for downloading videos, playlists, and audio from YouTube and other streaming platforms, with options for quality, format, subtitles, and batch support. The dated history is too thin to read a shape from, as only three dated entries exist before the index start. Traction leaders include Media Downloader, 4KTUBE, and YouDownloader, each with zero stars.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
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.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 9 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
