Show HN: TubeDL – Native macOS video downloader built on yt-dlp

I built TubeDL because I was tired of sketchy web-based video downloaders with ads and malware.

It's a native macOS app (Swift/AppKit) with a clean UI wrapped around yt-dlp. Local processing only - videos never touch my servers.

Free tier: 720p, 5 downloads daily Pro: $19 one-time (no subscription) for unlimited 4K

Looking for feedback on positioning and features. What would make this more useful?
