The record

Purpose: Tartube is a graphical front end for youtube-dl, yt-dlp, and other compatible video downloaders.
Supported sites: It can fetch videos from YouTube, Twitch, Odysee, and hundreds of other sites.
Video library: It can organize videos into folders and keep them in a database.
Livestream alerts: It can alert users when livestreams and debut videos are starting, with default support for YouTube, Twitch, and Odysee.
Audio downloads: It can save an archive copy of just a video's audio instead of the full video.
Download scheduling: Scheduled downloads can run once, at startup, at regular intervals, or at specified times.
Custom downloads: Custom download settings include random delays, livestream selection, subtitle filtering, video clips, and removing adverts.
Integrations: Tartube works with youtube-dl or yt-dlp and recommends FFmpeg for some operations; Deno is required for YouTube downloads.
Security and privacy: The opened project pages provide no security certifications or compliance claims.
Support: The project directs users to report problems on its GitHub page.
Windows support: Official downloads include 64-bit Windows installers and a portable edition; older Windows versions are no longer supported.
Linux and BSD support: The project documents Linux and BSD support, with DEB and RPM packages and community packages for Arch and Gentoo.
macOS installation: Tartube can run on macOS, but its documentation says installation is not a one-click operation.
Feature limitation: Tartube says downloaded video files are not backed up by its database backup process, so users are responsible for backing up the videos.
