ClipGrab

It's a great app, and has been my go-to for downloading YouTube videos, & for downloading only the Mp3 music, from the videos. I've used it for years, love it, and thank the developers for an app that is what all apps should be, simple, intuitive, useful, and it works!

I use it all the time for YouTube videos. Works well. Supposed to have malware attached. I've run three anti-virus programs on it and can't find anything. Been using it for over a year. Recommended to my friends and relatives.

Does not run on Catalina 10.15.x

Website says: "The default version requires at least macOS 10.12 (Sierra)" v3.8.5 was still running nicely in 10.11, though, but v3.8.6 clearly doesn't.

Rarely been this happy with an app. Agree with Annie-Walker. Clip Grab is stellar. Just copy url to clipboard and Clip Grab does the rest when you switch over to it. Auto pastes the url, grabs the title, remembers your resolution prefs - all you gotta do is click Get. You don't even have to load the video, you can do it from the thumbnail page. After fiddling around with various plug-in downloaders over the years and being disappointed when they are obsoleted, I'll never look back wistfully again.

Don'tcha have a 10 Star rating somewhere? Perfect! Works better than any other of its same type. HIGHLY recommended! I'm guessing you get my point... I love this application. And I love that the developer is generous, talented and I may be starting a new Fan Club in his name ? Download it, use it –– and say thanks to Mr. Medien ? (Yes, I donated, but I don't mention this to "Virtue Signal" –– I say it to encourage folks to put their money where their mouth is)?

I usually use MacX YouTube Downloader, (not available here at MU) and it works great, but sometimes it can't get the clip I want. Well this little gem gets those stubborn misses and does it elegantly and quickly.

Very impressive app that I'm glad I was able to find and add to my tool box.

Similar Software, inexplicably not at MU:
iTubeDownloader from AlphaSoft. $6.99.
