Ive been using Tubearchivist with the extension for this.

https://github.com/tubearchivist/browser-extension

I really like the WebUI of Tubearchivist itself.



the main feature I want is to just browse youtube like normal in firefox like I always do. And completely forget starchive is running. Then later in the day I'm pleasntly suprised that any video I want to clip is already downloaded and ready. I never know which one I'll want to download and I don't want to have to click any button.


What are you clipping them for?


Usually thoughout the day I'll be watching many different videos and then one will stick with me. Someone will have made a really good point at like time code 3 mins and 17 seconds or something. If I have to right then and there pause the video and start a download it takes me out of the moment. I like it so much better to just at the end of the day go back and find good moments and place them in a their own videos. Examples:
