No Good Browser Extension to Auto-Archive YouTube and Social Videos Locally

YouTube channels go dark without warning, videos get deleted silently, and the only real solution today is yt-dlp, a CLI tool that shuts out everyone who can't use a terminal. A browser extension that sits in the background, auto-queues videos from channels and playlists you follow, routes downloads to a local backend, and gives you a searchable offline library would eliminate the gap between the power of yt-dlp and the accessibility non-technical users need. The product connects a one-click browser install to a lightweight local server, handling scheduling, metadata indexing, and search across your personal archive without touching any cloud storage.
