YouTube-DL-PyTK (formerly known as YouTube-DL-GTK) is just a graphical launcher for yt-dlp. Its purpose is simple; to facilitate the downloading of non-copyright-protected videos from certain internet websites including YouTube.

Source code is included and can be executed directly if you have Python and the proper dependencies available.

I digitally sign some files in my releases. If you'd like to verify those signatures, you can find my PGP/GPG keys at:

If you'd like to read the source code without downloading anything, you can do so on the project's Gitlab at:
