Is there any yt-dlp frontend that downloads to the users local storage instead of the server's storage?

All the downloaders that I find only downloads to the server and I only want a UI without ads to make easies to use yt-dlp without the terminal.

So why put the UI on the server and not in the client??

YoutubeDL-Material is exactly what you're looking for. It does both, either download to the machine accessing the software in the browser, or download to a location on the server. Best of both worlds. It's actually a great bit of software, does more than you expect.

Just start a yt-dlp frontend on that machine that should have the files in the first place?

- "Just download an YT downloader application" is not what OP was asking for.
  
  I too have been looking for a centralized YT-DLP frontend that I can use to either 1. Store vids on my server 2. Give me (or more importantly, my wife) a prompt to download them.

  Metube can do that, but that's also not what OP asked for since he does NOT want to store the files on the server.

Might be technically possible with WASM nowadays.

- what does wasm have to do with this?

  WASM is a mechanism that would enable yt-dlp to run completely in the browser, which would be one way of accomplishing what OP wants.
