Freedom Loader is a free and open-source graphical interface built around yt-dlp, the powerful command-line media downloader. It lets you download video and audio from hundreds of supported websites without ever touching a terminal, with no ads, no tracking, and no questionable third-party services.

Under the hood, Freedom Loader bundles yt-dlp and ffmpeg directly, so there is nothing extra to install: paste a link, choose a format and quality, and the app handles fetching, converting and tagging the file for you.

Features include:

• MP4 video or MP3 audio downloads with embedded metadata and thumbnails
• Quality selection from best to specific resolutions (1080p, 720p, 480p)
• Codec choice: H.264, H.265, AV1, VP9 and Theora
• Playlist downloads with automatic per-playlist folders
• Cookie-based access to age-restricted and member-only content
• Custom theme system with a web-based theme creator
• Real-time download progress with network speed indicator
• Optional Discord Rich Presence integration
• Automatic application and download-engine updates

DRM-protected content is not supported and cannot be downloaded.
