Canonical page: https://macbase.app/alternatives/downie

Video downloader for Mac that saves videos from YouTube and well over a thousand other sites.

Downie is a paid app, and some people only need to save a video now and then. Alternatives include free, open-source downloaders, tools that work in the browser, and apps that also convert the files they save into other formats.
