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.

“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.
This MeTube in a local docker container seems to do what OP wants:
https://github.com/alexta69/metube
tag /u/kutu-dev
I have MeTube running, it does not what OP wants (unless he reconsidered) because it downloads the files to server storage.
But you can just start the container on his PC, then the Server is his PC?
Sure but then you can just start yt-dlp itself, with a GUI, no need to install a docker environment…

So, you’re saying the link I posted actually does do what the OP wants?
Well, he could also install a VM, install Linux and then install MeTube and then download the files to his PC. So, yes, installing MeTube in a docker on his Desktop PC, does what OP wants with a completely unnecessary overhead of complexity because there are yt-dlp clients for virtually every os. It’s a single binary on windows so there is absolutely zero reasons to install it in a docker container :)
