YTDownloader is a free browser tool for pasting a YouTube video link or playlist URL, previewing media, listening or watching in a clean browser player, or downloading allowed media when files are available.

Primary user jobs:
- Paste a YouTube video link and confirm the video by title and thumbnail before taking action.
- Paste a YouTube playlist URL and queue videos for listening or watching in order.
- Listen in a clean browser player when playable audio is available.
- Watch in a clean browser player without YouTube page distractions when playable video is available.
- Download an available MP4, WebM, M4A, or Opus file when the user is allowed to save it.
- Open a shared YTDownloader queue link and listen or watch items in a row.
- Open the optional YT Notes Companion Chrome extension page: local notes, clean links, and title capture.

Privacy and data model:
- The public page is designed to be lightweight and browser-first.
- No account is required to paste a link and preview options.
- Registered playback accounts use password-backed sign-in. Passwords are stored as hashes, not raw passwords.
- Finished files are returned as result links when processing is available.
- The service is not intended to keep a permanent user download library.
- YTDownloader does not modify the YouTube website or block ads inside YouTube; it plays available media in its own clean browser player.
- Registered sponsor-read skipping sends timestamped transcript text for the selected video to Google Gemini. If Gemini or captions are unavailable, YTDownloader does not guess ad ranges.
- YT Notes Companion is available from the Chrome Web Store.

Limits and service behavior:
- Download, Listen now, or Watch now can be unavailable if YouTube blocks production media requests or a video has no playable browser format.
- The page should show service status directly instead of sending users to an unrelated fallback.
- File size depends on the video length and selected format.

Allowed use:
- Use YTDownloader only for videos you own, licensed material, public-domain content, or videos you are otherwise allowed to save.
- YTDownloader is not affiliated with YouTube or Google.
