Arroxy is a free, open-source desktop application developed by Antonio Orionus that serves as a graphical user interface for yt-dlp, the widely used YouTube downloading engine. Falling within the video downloader and multimedia software category, Arroxy is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, making it a cross-platform solution for users who want to save YouTube content locally without relying on command-line tools or web-based services. The software enables downloading of standard YouTube videos as well as YouTube Shorts, supporting high-quality output options that include resolutions up to 4K, smooth 1080p at 60 frames per second, and HDR content. In addition to video, Arroxy supports audio-only formats for users who need just the soundtrack, and it can fetch subtitles alongside media files. A defining characteristic of the application is its privacy-respecting design: it operates with no advertisements, no user tracking, no cookies, and no login requirement, so downloads can be performed anonymously and without creating an account. Accessibility is further enhanced by support for nine languages, broadening its usability for an international audience. The current release of Arroxy is version 0.4.13, and the project has seen considerable development activity, with a total of 30 versions published to date, reflecting ongoing maintenance and refinement by its publisher. As an open-source project, Arroxy offers transparency into its codebase while remaining completely free of charge. Its combination of a straightforward graphical interface, the proven downloading capabilities of yt-dlp, broad format and quality support, and a strict no-tracking, no-login approach positions Arroxy as a practical choice for users across all three major desktop operating systems who need a dependable and privacy-conscious tool for archiving YouTube videos, Shorts, high-resolution streams, and audio content.
