What is Arroxy?

Arroxy is a free, open-source desktop YouTube downloader for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Built for speed, privacy, and simplicity, it lets you download YouTube videos, Shorts, subtitles, and audio without logging in, exporting cookies, linking a Google account, or sending files through third-party servers.

Paste a YouTube URL, choose your quality, pick a destination, and download. Arroxy supports up to 4K UHD, 1440p, 1080p, 720p, high-frame-rate streams, HDR video, and audio-only exports in MP3, AAC, or Opus. Downloads are processed locally using yt-dlp and ffmpeg, with automatic updates to keep the underlying download engine current when YouTube changes.

Arroxy is designed to remove the usual friction from desktop video downloaders. There are no premium tiers, no usage caps, no browser extensions, no account sessions to expire, and no cookie export workflow. The app includes a multi-download queue, clipboard URL detection, automatic cleanup of tracking parameters, tray-mode background downloads, embedded metadata and cover art, and subtitle support in SRT, VTT, or ASS.

For cleaner playback and archiving, Arroxy also includes SponsorBlock integration. You can skip, cut, or chapter-mark sponsor segments, intros, outros, self-promotions, and other categories, with per-category control.

Key features: Download YouTube videos and Shorts in up to 4K HDR Preserve 60 fps, 120 fps, and original YouTube stream quality Export audio as MP3, AAC, or Opus Download manual or auto-generated subtitles Embed subtitles, metadata, thumbnails, and chapters Queue multiple downloads in parallel Automatically clean copied YouTube URLs Detect YouTube links from your clipboard Keep downloads running in the system tray Use SponsorBlock to skip or mark unwanted segments Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Arroxy runs locally on your device. Your downloads, URLs, history, files, and video titles are not uploaded to a remote conversion server. Anonymous telemetry is limited to basic app health and usage signals and can be disabled in settings.

Arroxy is made for personal, private use. Users are responsible for following YouTube’s Terms of Service and applicable copyright laws
