YTDLnis review
A free Android downloader with extensive batch controls and yt-dlp customization.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
YTDLnis is a free, open-source Android application built on yt-dlp for downloading video and audio from more than 1,000 websites. It is aimed at Android users who need more control than a basic single-link downloader provides, including playlist processing, format selection, subtitles, cookies, video cuts, and batch actions. Its Android focus makes it a practical fit for mobile workflows, while its range of controls also suits users who want to manage downloads in detail.
The product’s pricing is straightforward: YTDLnis is open source and available as a free plan. Its main strength is breadth within the downloader category. Users can process playlists while editing playlist items individually, download multiple items simultaneously, queue and schedule tasks, and process URL lists from text files. The app can select video and audio formats, convert containers, download or embed subtitles, save automatic subtitles, edit metadata, and remove or mark SponsorBlock segments. Custom yt-dlp commands and templates extend control for users who understand those options.
YTDLnis is best suited to Android users who value batch processing, scheduling, subtitle handling, and granular download controls. It requires Android 7.0 or higher, and there is no iOS or iPadOS version. Desktop use is not a native release: x64 or x86-64 access is described through an emulator or Windows Subsystem for Android. Users seeking a focused Android downloader with advanced workflows should consider YTDLnis; those needing native iOS, iPadOS, or desktop software should choose an alternative designed for those platforms.
