What KoalaPull is

KoalaPull is a free desktop application for downloading videos, audio, playlists, subtitles, and metadata through yt-dlp. It runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows and supports YouTube, Vimeo, Twitch, TikTok, SoundCloud, Bandcamp, plus hundreds of other yt-dlp sources. Before a download, it can show a link’s title, uploader, duration, available formats, and estimated size. Output choices include best-quality, compatible, audio-only, and custom settings. Queued jobs, playlists, batch downloads, progress tracking, subtitles, and download history are supported. On first launch, the app places yt-dlp and ffmpeg in its application data folder. KoalaPull’s privacy description says it operates locally and does not send telemetry, URLs, media metadata, history, settings, or downloaded files to its maintainer. The project is open source under the MIT License and provided without warranty. Users are responsible for checking applicable laws, licenses, copyright, and platform terms before saving media.
