A sidebar on the left and a one-row link bar: the link field with a
built-in Paste button, a Format & quality button that shows what is
chosen (1080p · MP4 · ≤ 2500k) and Download. Below — download cards with
previews: progress, speed / size / time and Pause · Cancel right under the bar.
Everything sits on a soft gradient backdrop; the animated wave banner
splashes when you switch sections.
▸ One-row link bar ... link + built-in Paste + Format & quality + Download
▸ Options panel ...... every option as a tile with a hint (1920×1080,
≈1.3 GB/h, "Universal"…), chosen one gets a check
▸ Your own bitrate ... "Custom" tile: type any kbps, size per hour updates
▸ Panel you control .. drag it anywhere (it remembers the place), fold
sections you rarely touch (e.g. Cookies)
▸ Fixes ............. no more console warnings from the floating panel;
Hindi text always uses a font that can draw it
Press Format & quality next to the link and a floating panel opens: Quality (Original, 8K … 144p), Bitrate (Auto, presets or your own value), Format and Cookies — big tiles with a hint under each. Drag the panel by its grip or any empty spot, double-click to put it back, click a section title to fold it (the chosen value stays visible). Audio has its own panel: format, bitrate and cookies.
Drag the hue slider (0–360) and the entire app recolors instantly using the
oklch color model — buttons, sidebar, cards, progress bars, the backdrop and waves. Add a
saturation dial, a Light / Dark / System switch, and a full
color picker with a screen eyedropper.
Paste a channel or playlist URL and a picker pops up with every video —
thumbnails, titles and durations. Search, Select all / Clear all /
Invert, tick the ones you want, and they all drop into the download queue.
