Download Katevazo

Katevazo is a free, open-source video downloader for Windows, macOS and Linux. Pick your system below. The app bundles yt-dlp, ffmpeg and everything else it needs, so there is nothing else to install.

Version 0.6.0. Free, with no account and no ads. Katevazo is in early development, so expect some rough edges.

Windows

The installer is not code-signed yet, so SmartScreen may say "Windows protected your PC". Choose More info, then Run anyway.

macOS

The app is not notarized yet. If it will not open, go to System Settings, Privacy & Security and choose Open Anyway. If macOS says it is damaged, run xattr -cr /Applications/Katevazo.app once in Terminal.

Linux

Make the AppImage executable (chmod +x) and run it, or install the package with your package manager.
