Free forever · Pro media tools when you want them
Paste a URL, pick a format, download
| 🎬 | 1000+ sites via yt-dlp (YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, X, Vimeo, …) |
| ⚡ | Fast downloads with aria2 multi-connection |
| 🖥️ | Real desktop app, not only a terminal tool |
| 🔒 | Your machine, your files (no account required for free use) |
| 🧩 | Pro optional: torrents, local library, remote shares, home server |
Linux (one-liner)
curl -fsSL https://yaria.live/install.sh | bash
yaria-appInstalls to ~/.local/bin + desktop entry.
The app lives in your home folder; if WebKitGTK is missing, you may be asked for your password once so the system can install it.
If yaria-app is not found, open Yaria from the app menu, run ~/.local/bin/yaria-app, or add ~/.local/bin to your PATH (the installer prints the exact lines when needed).
First launch may download tools (yt-dlp, aria2, ffmpeg, …) in the background. That can take a minute on a slow connection.
Windows
- Download yaria-app-windows-amd64.zip
- Extract → run
yaria-app.exe - Needs WebView2 (usually already installed)
- Windows may show SmartScreen once: More info → Run anyway
First launch may download tools into %USERPROFILE%\.yaria\dependencies\.
Desktop app vs CLI: Want a normal windowed app? Use the Linux installer or Windows zip above.
npm install -g @zsnero/yariais the terminal CLI only, not the desktop GUI.
