PullTube 1.8.6.17 Portable for macOS

PullTube 1.8.6.17 Portable for macOS allows you to download videos from both sources (YouTube and Vimeo), while other platforms might be added at a later time. The app can handle playlists, allows you to select the output quality, and can even extract only the audio. The app can handle videos of any duration or size, and you get to monitor the download progress within its main window. The utility also integrates with the Notification Centre to send completion alerts.

The PullTube user interface is represented by a small window where you can quickly paste the video URL. Note that you can also add a video by dropping the link on top of the window.
It’s worth mentioning that if PullTube detects a video is part of a playlist, it will offer to download the entire collection by fetching data for each entry and handling the downloads consecutively.
From the Settings window, you can also choose to install a companion Safari extension that enables you to send links to the downloaded file with a simple mouse click. However, the installation is optional.
PullTube will start fetching the video data right away, so you can see the video name, duration, and a small thumbnail. When configuring a download, you can select the output quality (highest, 4K, HD, or regular with different resolutions) or choose to export only the audio as an M4A or MP3 file.
In the Settings panel, you can change the default download location and the default MP3 bitrate (320Kbps, 256Kbps, 128Kbps, 64Kbps).
Proposes a streamlined workflow for quickly downloading videos from YouTube or Vimeo, provides control over the output quality, and enables you to extract the audio to MP3 or M4A files.
The PullTube app can handle videos of any duration or size, and you get to monitor the download progress within its main window. The utility also integrates with the Notification Center to send completion alerts.
