Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I built YT Cuts because sometimes you don't need to download an entire YouTube video — you just need one specific section. Instead of uploading a video to another website and waiting for a cloud service to process it, YT Cuts runs locally on your own computer. ✂️ What you can do • Paste a YouTube URL and inspect the video • Choose the exact start and end points • Preview the section before downloading • Use timeline controls and quick clip presets • Export as MP4, WebM, MKV or MP3 • Choose available video quality • Watch live download progress, speed and ETA • Stop downloads and clean up partial files • Manage your downloaded clips from the local gallery 🔒 Local-first by design There are no accounts, databases, analytics, or hosted processing jobs. The app runs on localhost, with the browser handling the interface and a FastAPI backend using yt-dlp and FFmpeg for the media processing. And most importantly: It's completely open source and free to use. GitHub: https://github.com/DreamLogicApp... I'm launching YT Cuts to get feedback from the community - especially from developers, creators, and people who care about local-first/open-source tools. What would you add to YT Cuts next? 👀
