The record

Purpose: Aevum is a free desktop app for downloading video and audio from about 1,800 sites supported by yt-dlp.
Formats: It supports video up to 4K and audio extraction to MP3, M4A, Opus, FLAC, or WAV.
Preview and clips: Users can preview a video's title, duration, and thumbnail, and download a selected section.
Subtitles and playlists: Aevum can embed uploader-provided subtitles and download playlists into a folder.
Queue: Downloads can be queued, removed from the queue, or stopped while running.
Integrations: Aevum uses yt-dlp for downloading and bundles FFmpeg and ffprobe for media handling.
Login-only content: For supported login-only content, users can collect cookies from Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Brave, or Zen, or import a Netscape-format cookies.txt file.
Privacy: Downloads run locally, and the project says it has no accounts, analytics, or telemetry; opening Settings contacts GitHub for update information.
Local interface: Aevum serves its browser interface from a local server listening on 127.0.0.1 and says it does not listen on the network.
Cookie handling: Imported cookies stay in backend memory and temporary copies are cleaned up, though the project says force termination or a system crash can leave a temporary jar behind.
Downloads and setup: The project offers a Windows installer or portable executable and a Linux AppImage; the app has no installation prerequisites.
Notable limitation: The Windows builds are unsigned, so Windows SmartScreen may show an unknown-publisher warning on first run.
Support and security reporting: The security policy asks users to report vulnerabilities privately through the repository's GitHub Security tab.
Intended audience: The maker describes Aevum as a free, ad-free desktop app for people who want to download media they have the right to save.
