YT Studio — inspect & download YouTube.
A clean desktop app that pulls full channel analytics and downloads any video, playlist or entire channel. FFmpeg bundled — nothing to configure.
Two tools, one window
Inspect any channel, then download exactly what you want — single videos, playlists or the whole channel.
Full channel analytics in one paste
Drop in any channel URL and instantly see subscribers, total/median/average views, the top video, and upload cadence per year — with a sortable, filterable video list.
- Subscribers, views, top video & yearly cadence
- Sort & filter every video by title
- One-click export to CSV / JSON
Video, playlist, or the entire channel
Stage multiple URLs or drag & drop links, choose MP4 or MP3, pick quality, and download in one queue. Embed subtitles, thumbnails and metadata as you go.
- Single video, full playlist, or whole channel
- MP4 video or MP3 audio, quality selector
- Subtitles, thumbnail & metadata embedding
