• Clean, modern desktop UI (Electron)
• Optional standalone .exe version for Windows
• Python GUI fallback with customtkinter
• Automatic dependency handling:
  • Downloads yt-dlp, ffmpeg, and ffprobe
• Background processing with live task logging

1. Paste your YouTube playlist URL into the app
2. Choose a segment length and video format (mp4/webm/mkv)
3. Click Start to begin download + clipping
4. Monitor progress in the log panel

Clips are saved to:
