Built an Open-Source Video Downloader Without Tracking

Show HN: Téléchargeur Universel – An open-source video downloader with no tracking

I built Téléchargeur Universel because I wanted a simpler alternative to the typical online video download websites filled with popups and trackers.

The project is:

  • Open source
  • Free to use
  • No tracking
  • Powered by yt-dlp
  • Designed to work without unnecessary friction

I also integrated an AI video generation feature as part of the project.

You can try it directly here:

I'd especially appreciate technical feedback on the architecture, performance and user experience.

built Téléchargeur Universel because I was tired of using video download websites covered with popups, aggressive ads and trackers.

So I decided to build a different kind of tool:

• Free
• Open source
• No tracking
• Powered by yt-dlp
• Simple interface
• AI video generation included

The goal is simple: make downloading online content feel straightforward again.

The project is still evolving, so I'd really love to hear your feedback.
