yt-x

POSIX script to browse YouTube and other yt-dlp-supported sites from the terminal or app launcher.

Desktopfreeglobal

yt-x is a POSIX script that lets users browse YouTube and other yt-dlp-supported sites from the terminal (via fzf) or an app launcher (via rofi), with optional previews. It avoids the browser UI and ads, offering quick, fuzzy-searchable video access for terminal-oriented users and those who use rofi or other launchers; it is POSIX-compliant, works with bash, zsh and dash, and is available on GitHub under the MIT license.
