Hey everyone,

I built CatLoad, a lightweight desktop media downloader written in Java. It's powered by yt-dlp and focuses on being simple, fast, and low on RAM.

It's completely free and open source—no ads, no login, and no tracking.

Available on:

• Windows
• Linux

Some features:

• Choose any video/audio quality combination.
• Advanced download management with queue support.
• Download individual videos or entire playlists.
• Save playlist videos in their own folder.
• Import a cookies.txt file for age-restricted or account-only content.
• yt-dlp is bundled and can be updated from within the app.
