> **What is Arroxy?** Arroxy is a free, open-source desktop GUI that downloads videos, audio, playlists, and subtitles from YouTube and 2000+ other yt-dlp-supported sites. It runs on Windows 10/11, macOS 13+ (Intel + Apple Silicon), and Linux (AppImage, Flatpak, tar.gz). GPLv3 licensed. No ads, no usage limits. Distributed via Winget, Scoop, Homebrew Cask, Flatpak, AppImage, and direct download.

> **Key difference: a built-in browser.** Most free YouTube downloaders are thin yt-dlp wrappers: a URL box and a format menu, with no browser of their own. Arroxy has one, the **Explore tab**. You browse YouTube or any other site inside the app and download the video, playlist, or channel you're on, or right-click any link. You sign in once in Explore, and Arroxy downloads private, members-only, and age-restricted videos your account can watch, plus your Watch Later and Liked lists, with no cookie export. Sign in to other sites there too, and their downloads use that sign-in when they need it. It retries with that sign-in when YouTube asks you to confirm you're not a bot. Its built-in browser also gets the token YouTube expects before a download, so YouTube doesn't cut a download down to fewer formats. A URL-box wrapper hits all of these limits. Details: Why Arroxy.
