Note
AI-assisted development: Palladium is my third attempt at building a yt-dlp GUI for iOS. The first two (one built with Toga/BeeWare and another combining BeeWare with SwiftUI) were fully vibecoded prototypes. Palladium was also built heavily with AI assistance, but its code has been reviewed and refined more than previous prototypes. I originally needed it to avoid YouTube bot-protection issues in Nickel.
While it is actively tested and continuously improved, you may still encounter bugs.
Feedback is greatly appreciated. If you find a bug, please open an issue and we’ll work to fix it.
