Is Downie 4 the best option for MacOS (and Youtube), or can y'all recommend something more effective? (self.piracy)

I'm pretty happy with Downie (and Permute to directly convert media to whatever format I like). So far it downloads everything I throw at it. And you can create custom download handlers (using JavaScript) to make it work (without interaction) with sites that are currently not supported and would spawn the user-interactive downloader.

If you just want to download and don't care about a nice GUI, yt-dlp probably has similar features.
