About Freedom Loader
Freedom Loader is a lightweight desktop app built with Electron that uses yt-dlp to download videos and audio from the web easily and privately. It’s made for people who just want control over their media - without ads, limits, or paywalls.
I started this project out of frustration with the state of most downloaders. Too many were filled with ads, shady code, or unnecessary restrictions. Freedom Loader exists to put freedom back into your downloads.
The Story Behind It
Freedom Loader was born from a simple need: downloading media without hassle. I wanted a tool that respected privacy, looked clean, and worked - period. No trackers, no “Pro” version, no weird popups. Just a reliable, open-source downloader for everyone.
Over time, it became more than a tool - it’s a statement against overcomplication. Built during late nights, Freedom Loader is the kind of app I wish existed when I was younger: fast, transparent, and free.
