I built Aevum because I really like how powerful yt-dlp is, but I didn't always want to deal with the command line just to download a video or some audio. At the same time, a lot of downloader apps I came across were filled with ads, subscriptions, accounts, paywalls, or just way more clutter than I wanted. So I started building the kind of tool I'd actually want to use myself: open it, paste a link, choose what you want, and download it. Aevum is basically my attempt to put a simple desktop interface around yt-dlp and FFmpeg without getting in the way. It's free, open source, doesn't require an account, and I'm trying to keep it focused on doing one job well. I'm still actively working on it, so feedback is genuinely useful. I'm especially interested in anything that feels confusing, downloads that fail when they shouldn't, format-related issues, sites that behave strangely, or features you think would actually make the app better. If you try it, I'd be interested to hear what works, what doesn't, and what you'd change.
