Another Yt-Dlp Wrapper

Hacker News

I've recently been working on a computer vision project and needed to download quite a lot of sample clips from YouTube. The existing online tools are littered with ads, watermarks or paywalls just for >360p quality videos. I discovered yt-dlp but it wasn't the most user friendly, so I built a desktop GUI wrapper to speed up my workflow. yt-clipper lets you download specific segments from YouTube videos without grabbing the entire file. You paste a YouTube URL, set your start and end times, pick your quality, and download exactly what you need. No ads, no artificial limits beyond what YouTube itself imposes, no account required. The tool runs yt-dlp under the hood but wraps it in a simple interface. You get the power of yt-dlp without dealing with command line arguments or documentation. Works on Mac and Windows (sorry Linux users). Built this because I was tired of downloading 20-minute videos when I only needed 30-second clips for training data.
