HalalDL — local-first Windows yt-dlp GUI built with Tauri v2

[Asdmir786]

Hey everyone — I built HalalDL, a local-first Windows media downloader powered by yt-dlp.

What it is

A Tauri v2 + React desktop app so you can paste a URL, pick a preset, and download without living in the terminal. No account, no telemetry.

Highlights

• Presets for common video/audio workflows
• Visible raw yt-dlp logs (not hidden behind vague progress)
• Tray + clipboard-aware quick downloads
• Full / Lite / Portable builds
• WinGet: winget install --id Asdmir786.HalalDL

Stack

• Tauri v2
• React + TypeScript + Vite
• Rust backend
• Windows 10/11 x64
