AeroDL is a sleek, cross-platform YTDLP frontend built with Compose Multiplatform. It combines the power of
yt-dlpwith a beautiful, native-feeling interface for fast and reliable video & audio downloads.
AeroDL welcomes you with a clean and minimal home screen. Simply paste or detect a YouTube link — AeroDL automatically recognizes it and prepares everything for download.
Instant notifications appear when a supported link is detected — open it directly in AeroDL or ignore.
Preview thumbnails, read descriptions, and choose between video or audio modes before confirming your download.
