## About

YouTubeJack is a native Mac app for downloading YouTube videos and playlists. Paste a link to preview the title, channel, duration, and thumbnail, then choose an available quality, codec, and container before adding it to the queue.

The queue supports selecting individual playlist entries, starting, pausing, retrying, removing, and reordering downloads. Video and audio-only downloads are supported, with yt-dlp and ffmpeg included so no Homebrew setup is needed.
