YouMacro is a free Windows video downloader that lets users browse pages inside the app and save videos they detect. It can download one video, selected videos, or every detected video on a page. A multithreaded engine runs hundreds of downloads in parallel and retries stalled threads automatically. Users can choose video resolution, download audio only, and select a local folder. The project lists YouTube, TikTok, Twitter, Vimeo, and Dailymotion as example supported sources. YouMacro has no ads or in-app purchases, and its maker says it collects no information. The project is hosted on GitHub under an MIT license, making it open source. Distribution is through the Microsoft Store. When Windows dark mode is enabled, the app adjusts its colors to match the desktop theme. Both listed plans are free at no cost. The maker advises downloading only content the user has permission to save.
