Video-downloading application
YTD downloader for Mac is an application that lets you deliver videos from streaming websites to your phone. Straightforward and free-of-charge, it makes downloads that much quicker and more comfortable.
If you've ever wanted to get YouTube videos straight to your phone and not waste data while outside, you have to get familiar with downloaders. There are many programmes that exist, from simpler Video DownloadHelper and 4k Video Downloader to more complex GUI-powered YouTube DLG. YTD is just another programme of this kind; however, it is 100% free and explicitly geared towards Mac users.
Simplicity and ease
A slight hiccup
The only hurdle between you and using this programme is a simple installation trick. Once you launch it, it will ask you also to accept other software programmes, which you should decline. Not doing that could leave you with adware or unintentionally sharing your information. Luckily, it's easy to avoid: there's a clear button to turn down the offer.
A clear interface
From then on, this system runs smoothly. All you need to do is open the programme, and it will run in the background. Then, copy the video URL you want to download. It automatically pastes the URL into the tab, you click the huge red button, and that's it.
Flexibility
The software allows you to change the quality of the videos you want to download to match your preferences. Then, you may use it for playing the videos by default or change the player. The interface also allows you to rename and delete files, as well as convert it to your format of choice.
Pro
You may choose to get YTD pro, which allows you to download and convert videos simultaneously. It also makes it possible to batch-convert your videos.
Handy tool for Mac
All in all, for Mac users, this programme is one of the best out there for video downloads. It's simple, quick, enables batch downloads and conversion, and keeps video quality high. The only downside is the need for the pro version to optimise its activities even further.
