In plain English

YTDLnis is a free, open-source Android app that lets you download audio and video from more than 1000 websites directly to your phone. It runs on Android 7.0 and above. Under the hood it uses yt-dlp, a widely used command-line download tool, but wraps it in a friendly interface so you never have to touch a terminal. The core idea is simple: paste or share a link, pick whether you want audio or video, and the app handles the rest. You can download from a single URL or hand it a text file full of links and have them all processed at once. Playlists are supported too, with options to edit each item separately, pick a common format, or set a shared save folder for the whole batch. Beyond basic downloading, the app has a queue system that lets you schedule downloads for a specific date and time, run multiple downloads in parallel, and retry anything that failed. You can log in with site cookies to reach private videos or unlock premium quality options. There is also a built-in terminal for running raw yt-dlp commands if you know what you are doing, and you can save command templates to reuse or share. The app includes several post-processing options. You can trim a video by timestamp or chapter, strip out sponsored segments using SponsorBlock data, embed subtitles, attach metadata like title and author, and split a file into separate tracks based on its chapters. An incognito mode skips saving any history or logs when privacy matters. The interface follows Material You design conventions and supports theming. A share-sheet shortcut means you can trigger a download directly from your browser or another app without opening YTDLnis first. A quick-download mode skips the configuration screen entirely and starts immediately. The app also backs up and restores its settings and templates. Community support runs through Discord and Telegram channels maintained by the developer.
